For what you ask?
This...
I know right... ridiculous.
I spend WAY to much time on here or is it there who knows and for what I don't know...
I am not entirely sure how long/often I spend on here each day... but the other day Ronan came into the room with it... saying I had forgotten it... then shiz is bad.
I KNOW I do not spend every waking second on it... I don't know how it started, but I do know that if my son thinks it needs to follow me around the house then something has to change.
I have been thinking about it for some time now.
How to 'control' how I use it...
Because lets be honest... it is my only tap into the outside world and sometimes I need my Mumma Village when the sleepless days are endless and the shouty four year olds are shouty.
I thought about only being able to look at it at certain times of the day... you know... 7am, 11am, 3am, 7pm...
Or
After I have Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
Or when the children are busy doing something else... but that is what I do now.
Do I get Ronan to hide it?
In April last year, I successfully stopped myself from looking at my personal Facebook page multiple times a day... to a point where I was scarcely around... but now, I have noticed that I am back there again... sharing the odd photo and the funny/not so funny things my children make me endure.
I am not exactly sure how I am going to get around this... its just a phone... not a life source... or an appendage...
What ever it is... or isn't... IT needs to lessen OR possibly stop.
So if you see me floating around on social media A LOT... feel free to become all shouty and get me off!
Because I need it...
My children do too.
What are you guilty of?
Spend to much time on Social Media?
Your comments are not only awesome! They are inspiring!
Thank you.
Thank you.
I do it too. Regular intervals. Increasing intervals. Sometimes I just need to see that there are other goings on out of the four walls I am in. Excuse? Absolutely. But it's the truth. As is the fact our kiddos need our attention too. Where's the happy medium? The balance? I'm not sure just yet. I hope you find it. X
ReplyDeleteYes! Exactly!
DeleteHere's hoping! x
Encouraging you, we all need to be vigilant, so easy to keep sliding back into the habit. Sticking to the balance, I'm always having to begin again{}
ReplyDeleteSo far, so good... but some days are worse then others... you are right, its all about balance. Thanks for stopping by x
DeleteI think there are so many of us guilty of this today. I know my hubby gets cranky of I look at mine too often so we have a rule that when we are doing family stuff or during dinner, then no phones allowed! x
ReplyDeleteWe have the same rule, no phones at the table. Hubby is an account manager and he 'tries' not to answer work calls after 630/7.
DeleteThanks for stopping by Sonia x
Yep, guilty here too! I've adopted Carly from Smaggle's rule of no social media after 9pm (for the most part). I also make sure the phone isn't near me when I'm having a meal with my husband or out with friends or walking the puppy - those are the moments I want to be totally present for and enjoy. We'll support each other!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a good rule Sonia, I may have to look at doing something like that. Though... the ONLY time I really am able to read blog post is after 9... I am sure I will walk it out!
