Even though
social media is addictive, and so engaging that it can take up a lot of your
time, it can be used productively too. Clever use of social media technologies can
ensure that you avoid mindless scrolling and that you can take charge to get
the most out of your accounts.
You can’t be on every form of social media
Choose the
social media accounts that best suits your work, lifestyle and fulfils your
social, business, entertainment and information needs.
Stay away from distractions
Frequent
interruptions from work allow more room for error. If you cannot resist looking
at your phone every time a notification comes in, rather silence your phone and
use tools to limit the amount of time you spend on it.
Scale back and watch your free time increase
The best
way to scale back is to schedule the times that you will allow yourself access
during the day. This allows you to catch up with your feed, engage with your
audience, and catch up with any work. Ensure that you adhere to the time that
you have set. For example, an hour in the morning and evening.
Plan ahead and always be a winner
A social
media strategy can be planned ahead, especially if it’s an important part of
your work. Scheduling posts ahead with social media marketing tools ensures
that you spend less time on social media but have better results.

Save time
and stay focused on productivity by cleverly using social media to your
advantage.
