If you aren’t promoting your business online, what are you doing on facebook all day long? That is a question that popped out of my mind the other day when I queued in one of our computer labs waiting for students who were busy updating their status on facebook. Facebook is just among one of the most popular social networking sites online, if not moderated could bring more harm than good. It is an addiction that can eat into one’s time and so it is necessary that we learn how to disciple ourselves.

All of us have heard this saying, ‘time is money’. So, if you spend all your time on facebook, what you are essentially saying is that you are willing to lose a few pennies for the sake of facebook. If you notice that your online habit is getting out of hand and even affecting your productivity(for those of us who work at home), it is time you review how you spend your time and make the necessary adjustments. Research shows that facebook can be more addictive than cigarette. Yes! That is as bad as it can get. However,to train yourself on how to control your facebook account rather than having it control you, you need to read the following 3 simple steps;

Set you time properly, also time limits
Social networking sites that include games or other entertainment options can be a total waste of time. To avoid getting hooked up to this disease of addiction, set your time limits for checking messages, updates or playing games. If you work at home, there is an increasing need to refrain from facebook because it can bring your earnings down. You don’t have to lose some coins.
If you have to check messages, do it first thing in the morning and also

in the evening before going to bed. Don’t waste countless hours looking for updates that sometimes are not meaningful.

Your news feed
Many facebook users don’t know that they can control their news feeds. If you want to effectively control your news feed, visit the walls of those you want to eliminate from your list, click on the friend button in the upper right corner. Uncheck the option of showing their posts into your personal news feed. The good thing with this is that they won’t realize you aren’t reading their post. If you do this, you are left with fewer posts to read, hence reduces the overall time you spend on facebook.

Stop playing games
If you must play games, choose your favorite and delete the rest. Don’t play multiple games, delete other apps that you don’t need. Only leave the once you like. Don’t live your life in an online environment, live it in the real world.
