Are You Wasting Time On Facebook?

There is no doubt that there are lots of Nigerians on Facebook who are just there to say ‘good morning’ or ‘good night’ Facebook. For this reason, a lot of people consider Facebook to be a total waste of time and energy. Is it true? Yes it is. One only have to look around on the kind of update people post on facebook to see that majority of Nigerian Facebook users are just there a waste time after work or at other times when they are lonely. If you are observant, you will notice that the number of Nigerian Facebook users may be increasing but many old users have since left facebook.

The majority of people spend way too much time on Facebook, surfing around, and not producing much of anything. Will it be right to say that Facebook can’t be used proficiently? I personally believe that the answer is no.

Socializing for socializing sake can hardly bring any good. While the right social networking mindset can bring a lot of gains to an individual. Although for that to happen, an individual will have to be well organized and be able to reduce interruptions. Certainly it is pleasurable to spend time playing the latest online Facebook games or searching through your friends' pictures, but at the end of the day, if you do not balance the "fun time", with actions that will help either yourself or your business, you will start feeling you failed to get anything completed at all.

You should know while you’re on facebook. Another extreme one must check is the idea of going to facebook only to sell a product or just to tell people about your blog post. A lot of marketers do this. They set up fan pages and just do their marketing. While this will bring you gains, in the end it may defeat the purpose of social networking which is connecting with your friends or associate on facebook and also for socializing marketing and not for socializing marketing alone.
As a rule, whenever I’m on my system working, I always check my facebook page last. This has helped me achieve the most work and also conserve time.
