Here's how to get 14 hours of your week back.
The Weekly Bonus Shot 🥃 from The Liquid Lunch Project | April 22, 2024
Question for you:
How much time do you spend on social media a day? 👀
A few minutes here and there?
First thing when you wake up?
Last thing before going to bed?
At the red light?
At the bus stop?
While waiting for your coffee order?
Even if it doesn't feel like much - it adds up.
In fact, studies show that the average person spends over two hours PER DAY scrolling their socials. 🤯🤯
🚨That's 14 hours a week.🚨
🚨That's 56 hours a month.🚨
Imagine if we could rip those hours back from the clutches of Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. What could you do with an entire 40-hour work week (plus O.T.) of extra time?
A lot.
Do yourself a favor. Scrutinize your social media habits (or any other time-wasting culprits) this week. Look at the app usage on your phone. Are you above average? Are you below average? Are you surprised by what you see?
Take those hours and put a price tag on them. If your time is worth, say, $50 an hour, those 14 hours are losing you $700 a week (nearly $40k a year!).
Is it worth it?
Now, we're not saying go cold turkey. Time and place for everything. This is just a friendly reminder that if you're someone who bitches and complains and makes excuses that you don't have enough time to do X, Y, and Z...
...but then spends a few hours a day on social media (or binge-watch Netflix every night, etc.)...
...you may want to rethink your priorities.
(Don't shoot the messenger.)
Ready to cut back on the mindless scrolling?
Boundaries, Baby: Set strict times for social media check-ins. Treat it like dessert – earned, not just shoveled in whenever.
Unplug and Play Hard: Schedule digital detoxes. Break free from screens and reconnect with reality.
Get Off Your Ass: Instead of scrolling - get moving. Walk, run, lift, whatever floats your boat. Just get that blood pumping.
What would you do with an extra 14 hours a week?
It may be more possible than you think.
Let's crush this week, and make it count. 💪🏼
