This week I have definitely cut back my use of social media.  I have done so by keeping my phone in my backpack during all classes so that I can not check Facebook or Twitter.  When on my computer, I check them before I begin my homework, and on short breaks.  It has been a lot easier than I expected to cut down my usage.  Once I got in the habit of checking all of my social media less and less, it has become almost habit not to use it so frequently.  It has allowed me to focus better in and out of class.  I hope that it has allowed me to get my work done much more efficiently as well.  I definitely feel better now that I am not so tied down by social media.  It is kind discouraging to think about how much of our daily lives social media actually takes up.
