How Much Time I’ve Wasted On Facebook

2-39pm

After I wrote the article on the Pros and Cons of Facebook, it drew my attention to how much time I spend on the site. While I also find it a great marketing tool, I find myself distracted by watching the lives of others unfold. It got me wondering if their is an app that could tell me how much time I’ve spent on FB. There is. So I set it in motion and as I watched the calculation begin and continue and continue and continue, I found myself thinking, “I’m hating this!” I averted my eyes away and then started going off to other sites, while it continued its massive calculation. When it finally finished, it spewed out this horrifying information…

Based on 17 minutes a day, I’ve thrown almost 33 days of my life at one website! That is scary!  So you too can go and find out how much time you’ve wasted by clicking here…

Time Wasted on FB

Well now that I know this information, how is my life going to change? I think I need to just be very alert to the distraction factor that Facebook imposes on me. When I find myself endlessly just looking, I need to stop, close the page and do something USEFUL! Maybe I can cut my usage down by half. There are things I like to do on FB. It is very helpful for spreading word of this blog and also on Helga’s Daily Blog Facebook page, I enjoy posting a short weekday devotion. It’s a great communication and encouragement took. That’s all fine and good. So I’ll try and keep to that!

Psalm 90:12

So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.

Absolutely!

Keep the smile going!

God bless you!
