I have found myself lately stretching myself too thin with the people I love and the things I am doing.
With my final semester upon me, and helping more at my church I have found I am not giving my family the time the deserve, or my studies. I have found myself spending too much time on the dreaded evil social media aspect of things. Seeing that I was constantly checking to see what people were doing with their lives. What not on Facebook or just talking to random people for hours on end.
After a night of thinking and praying. I looked at myself and wondered why I was always stretched so thin? Why my family was not close as they could be? What can I do to change this.
I started by uninstalling all my social media apps I had on my phone. One of which is Facebook.
Friday I would catch myself looking through the news feeds on Facebook. Or chatting with people on Facebook. Instead of doing much needed research for a paper due in a few weeks I scrolled through Facebook.
On Saturday I found myself checking through the news feeds a few time not near as many time as I would. And I have used a lot less of my phones battery. So instead of using my phone as a way to get who's doing what on Facebook today I successfully used it less then I normally do. I have k Intel a scarf, cleaned a bit did some clothes, and spent time with my husband and daughter.
So I have seen how one day has changed just by not being on Facebook and scrolling through countless times. How much time I have on my hand when I am not constantly on my phone. I had so much time.
So my question goes out to all who read this. Do you really have the time to do things? Do you make the excuse that you don't have time? Ever wonder how much time you spend playing on Facebook, candy crush, Flappy birds, or browsing other social media?
I personally spent way too much time on Facebook and decided I needed to change my ways. Change how much time I spend on the app and how much time I spend with family.
