These 20 Tips Will Help You Use Media Mindfully

SCALE BACK YOUR FRIENDS NETWORK

Fewer friends in your social network equals less noise. Take some time to go through your Facebook friends list and consider if you really need to be apprised of the daily happenings of that person you talked to for five minutes in Las Vegas at a conference.

 

STICK TO SET HOURS FOR BROWSING SOCIAL MEDIA

When social media is an all-you-can-eat buffet, it’s easy to fill up on junk. Making set hours for when you’re perusing Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and the like helps limit your intake and make time spent browsing more quality time.

 

ONLY CREATE SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT YOU LOVE

Consider whether you really need to post something every day—especially when it’s just a photo of your breakfast burrito. Nobody needs to see the minutiae of your daily life. And you’ll be none too excited, either, to have it pop up in your feed two years from now as a memory.

 

AVOID COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

We know it’s hard not to compare your life’s happenings to the things coming up in your friends’ feeds. But remember that social media usually reads as a highlight reel—and not as reality. The less you compare yourself to others, the more content you’re likely to feel with your own life.
