Social media is super tempting.

One quick scroll, and suddenly an hour’s gone.

If you’re finding it hard to stay focused with social media constantly pulling you in, you’re not alone.

But there’s a way to take control.

Here’s what I do:

⏩ Set Time Limits: Decide how much time you want to spend on social media each day. Use app timers or the screen time settings on your phone to help you stick to it. Trust me, setting boundaries makes a huge difference. Also, always know your purpose and set a time limit before opening the app. This way, I stay focused and avoid getting lost in endless scrolling.

⏩ Create No-Phone Zones: Pick certain times of the day, like during study sessions or classes, where your phone is off-limits. It helps me stay present and focused on what really matters.

⏩ Turn Off Notifications: Those constant pings can be a huge distraction. Turn off non-essential notifications so you’re not tempted to check your phone every five minutes.

⏩ Unfollow and Declutter: Clean up your feed by unfollowing accounts that don’t add value to your life. The less cluttered your social media, the less time you’ll waste on it.

By taking these simple steps,

it becomes easier to stay on track with your goals,

without social media dragging you down. Give it a try—It helped me immensely!
