As I hunted through a tin can full of silver and bronze coins it dawned on me.
Successful people don't waste time on social media unless they have to. I'm 25-years-old and use multiple social network outlets. Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram being my current top 3.
I'm an indie music artist so I use my Facebook fan page as a means to reach out to people I can't see everyday. It allows them to connect with me and keeps them updated on what I doing with my art. However, there is that side of me that goes on my personal Facebook page scrolling down my time line reading posts from college friends, high school classmates, family, and the people I've never met haha.
The time spent on my personal account now isn't as bad as it was from 2006-2010 (when I was in college), but that's not a valid excuse. That's time I'm wasting. Time that could be spent reading a book, writing rhymes, practicing my freestyle abilities, searching for a better job, perfecting my drawings, etc.
I believe social medias are an awesome way to connect with the world, but I've made the choice to limit the amount of minutes I spend on these social medias daily and focus that time and energy into something productive. Successful people don't become so by wasting time. Time is a invaluable resource and it's up to us how we spend it. We can make money and loose money, meet a woman and loose a woman, but time you can't ever get back. It's
irreplaceable.
