Social media can really hurt our ability to concentrate and get things done.

Here are two major ways it distracts us:

• Instant Notifications: Every time your phone buzzes or dings, it pulls your attention away from what you’re doing.
• Scrolling: Going through endless posts can take up a lot of time, and often you end up looking at things that don’t even matter.

To help deal with these distractions, you can try these tips:

1. Set Timers: Give yourself a certain amount of time to use social media. When the timer goes off, it’s time to stop.
2. Disable Notifications: Turn off alerts so your phone doesn’t interrupt you all the time.

By using these strategies, you can get your focus back and be more productive!
