How To Spend 80% Less Time On Facebook

This is just a very simple productivity tip. Instead of browsing Facebook for hours, you should be doing something more productive! If you are like me, you will find time to waste by browsing the mediocre lives of your Facebook friends. Most of these people aren’t your friends but rather your acquaintances. On average, Facebook users have 130 friends and spend 55 minutes per day browsing them and what happens in their lives. Personally, I only really care about 10% of my Facebook friends and want to see their new updates. Here is how I get the information I care about using Facebook:

1. Click on “Friends” and create a new list.

2. Type the names of the people who you really care about and give the list a name.

3. On the left side, click your list.

Personally, I call this list “I Care”. With this list, I eliminate most of the crap I see on Facebook and get right down to the good stuff. You could always remove people from your friends, but that would be mean. I use the list to track updates of my “favorites”. If I hop on twice per day, it only takes about 10 minutes total to catch up on the newest updates.

Please feel free to comment on this post. How many hours per day do you spend wasting? Is Facebook a part of it?
