How do I waste the most time every day?

How do you waste the most time every day?

Hmm this will probably not come as a surprise to anyone… dun… dun… duuuuun… drum roll please… Social media.

Social media for me is one of the main reasons that I waste time on the daily. I wake up and check my socials like the attention seeking fuelled human that I am, that also feels like I need the approval and attention from people I don’t really know or understand to feel validated and to go about my day happy. I feel like I need people to like my posts, read my blog, like my images, my pictures, my life to feel like I fit in.

And then comes the doom scrolling!!!

I will sit with my morning coffee and have a list of all my to do’s for that day but my brain will click on my phone, select the tiny app buttons and click to open before doom scrolling for hours and not having done a single thing on my list. Then I feel guilty and carry on scrolling in the hopes I come across someone just like me, but who says it’s ok and I can start again tomorrow.

I love social media and the internet, it has made reaching out, marketing and advertising, looking for ideas, inspiration and knowledge finding easier… but at the same time it is the bane of my life and stops me from doing so much because I lack self control and need the validation of others.

So yes, this is how I waste my time.
