Are Social Networks Bringing You Down?

There are so many social networking sites these days it is hard to stay focused on any one individual task. You sign on to twitter and start chatting with some people, then you open up facebook and start talking to people there, check out the top digg’s, etc. We live in a world full of distractions, don’t we? Many people call this multi-tasking and indeed that’s basically what it is. It’s also distracting!
I have a bad habit of trying to multi-task a lot. That’s mainly why I am writing about this topic. One of my personal goals for this year is to make sure I complete one task before I move on to the next task. This saves an incredible amount of time. Really, it does! Why? Well there are start-up times involved with each task you do. That’s why it is best to complete one task and than move on to the next.
Social networks are incredible. They connect you to so many people and so many ideas it’s no wonder you can spend all day on them. I was once asked by one of my twitter followers, who was having a hard time managing her time, how I manage to not get distracted and spend all day talking to people on twitter? and believe me, that is easy to do.
