Success Hack No. 2 Don’t be a slave to social media.
Not every hack is going to be easy to implement, actually many of these might be a little difficult at first. however once you replace old habits with good habits these will become easier and even more profitable. You’ll realize savings in time and money. You’ll actually, in a sense create more time (which is impossible; we all only have 24 hours in a day). You’ll find yourself freeing up more time and using it for whatever you want. And you will create more money. What people say about time being money is wrong but they both do work together.
So here’s the hack. Do not look at Facebook until after 5:00 PM or at least the end of your “work” day. So weekends and any days off, feel free to look at social media all day if you want. But I’m pretty sure that after I share this hack with you that you may even want to do a social media “fast” on your days off!
If you are currently and employee, you have “employee thinking” but I assure you this this hack is not for your employer’s benefit and, if you are an employer reading this, it is definitely for your benefit. Hack number 2 is so beneficial that as an individual in any type of situation and age in life, even as a high school aged person, you don't need to be wasting your life on Facebook and other social media until after 5:00.
Let me explain why. I will do this by asking you a question.
Are most of the things that you see on social media (and I'm talking mostly about Facebook because frankly that's been the one that I spend a lot of time on) mostly positive or negative? If we agree that it's mostly negative let me ask you another question.
Is it a good idea that when you're trying to be profitable, positive and powerful in moving forward and doing great things in your day to affect your life that you should be stopping your momentum to fill your mind with negativity?
This week, try an all-day social media fast until you are done with the “growth” part of your day. When you are done “growing” your best in self, monetarily and in all areas of your life, only then allow social media into your day. Even then you might want to set a timer because I’m sure you are like me and others, who get on social media and then realize that an hour or two is gone past! Why regret how that hour or two, whether positive or negative, negatively was used here because it could have been invested in yourself, your family, creating income or something more profitable in a thousand other way.
Don’t be a slave to social media. Be a master over your time, your thoughts and your media. Add this tip to your life and try it for at least 7 days. The first day or two you’ll probably fail but continue. I think you, like I, will add more joy, more profitability, productivity, and even pleasantry into your life.
