Social media is a magic tool for keeping friends and family informed, and I love it for that. It can also be a monumental time waster. How many times have you been scrolling through any one of the various apps, only to find that an hour, or possibly even two have gone? Don’t get me wrong, there are times when that might be ok. But also I am very aware of even 15 minutes might be too long.
I end up getting frustrated with my ipad, which I happen to think is the most incredible device, and I love it, but I’m not being productive with and it’s that feeling of lack of productivity that frustrates me. So, what to do about it?
I guess, instead of scrolling through posts there are loads of free courses from some very respectable institutions, sites like free learn and coursera provide courses that can last three or four weeks with about four hours of study per week covering many subjects. Why not look at them?
It’s just doing something useful that I need to do. I don’t include my blog in the list of un-useful activities of course. I love doing that, even if I do get frustrated when there’s nothing obvious to write about.
