HOW CAN YOU SAVE TIME ON YOUTUBE OR SOCIAL MEDIA
Tell me if you can relate to this:
when you are looking for a video to know how to do something like (hypothetically)how to cook rice?
Pretty simple right,Shouldn't be a problem.
Now after you've watched your first video of your search result,What's The Next Thing You Do?
let me guess You watch another video which surprisingly in most cases is doing the this in some other way which works but it confuses you as now you're wondering which methods is the best?
and you try to solve this problem by..... ......................wait for it............watching another video and than another and another and another and in the end you do it the way you think is the easiest for you which i am pretty sure was the way the first video showed you.
So why did you waisted so much time on it why didn't you just watched the first video and than decide if it was doable for you.
Well First of All let me say IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
There are so many ways to do one simple thing and it's hard to pick the easiest one in an overwhelming number of choices.
And it's not just You tube it's Google,facebook,tumblr,Pintrest and Instagram.All of them show us so much content that even when we try to do something that should take 5 minutes it ends up waisting our 50 minutes simply because their is 100% chance that you would find something interesting in one or two scrolls.
SO HERE ARE TOP 5 WAYS TO SAVE YOUR TIME ONLINE:
When Watching How To Videos:
(1)Watch the most viewed result that should be on top because those are the most helpful(most of the Time)
(2)Than pause the video the moment it starts Than watch their like and dislike ratio and read the first two comments if they are bad and disliked go back they might be just some notorious people who will give you some bad advice.
and than click on the other videos and repeat the process and if their likes and comments are good than watch the whole video including the add so you can support the right and honest one's (3)And if it's doable than don't watch another one you'll get confused and quickly put your phone down.
(1)The first thing you wanna do is to decide how much you are gonna watch before you watch it.
Because most of these videos are short length(like 5-8 minutes)so your mind keeps going one more video it won't make much of a diffrence but soon it will.So you must decide it before you watch it that how much time is ideal to spend watching it.
(2)My advice is to watch total of 3 hours in a day and watch in 1 or half hours sessions so you are not absent from the real world for a long tine.
(3)The moment you click on the next video immediately click the description arrow so you won't get distracted by the recommendations below and turn off the auto play that way you'll only watch what you decided to watch and won't click on another video just because it seems intresting.
When Watching An Informative Video :
Informative videos are the videos that informs us such as Top 10 videos,what you didn't know and things you should know etcetera etcetera.
If you spend most of your Time watching such videos it means you are a real curios person and come the under the group of smart youtubers but due to too much lust for money and no moral taughts some people upload really stupid informative videos like Top 10 conspiracy theories, Top 10 reasons why earth is flat ,top 10 timea superstars went bankrupt and the most time waisting information When real ghosts were caught on camera(Does it matter if ghosts are real even if they are there is nothing we can do so why watch).
so here's what you can do when you see a informative video ask yourself
(1)Is this information can be passed on to your friends or family?
(2)Can you use that information in real life?
(3)Is it worth your time?
if the answer is no to any of them than don't watch it.
LOG OUT OF YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA NOW:
Don't worry i am not asking you to stop using social media i am asking you to log out of it.
The reason social media has blown so big is because of the purpose it serves- connecting the world.But how many times you use it for this because most of the people spend most of their time watching memes,following and unfollowing people (so they have more followers) and refreshing the notifications over and over in hope for a like.
But when you log out of your facebook,Instagram or twitter every time you want to use it you would have to type your username than password than log in than do whatever you want to do and than logging out again.
Through this method you'll only use it when you'll need it and you will remember your password always.
and you would definitely not do the refreshing the bell icon on and on(it will bell when there is a notification)
Do A No Smartphone Day Once A Week :
You actually don't have to lock or leave your phone for this.
Now Don't get me wrong if you have a secondary multimedia phone use that for a day but if you don't have a secondary phone
(1)Than just charge your phone up to a point where you can only use it for one hour(non-stop)
(2)Now lock the charger so you can't charge it again and if you want your phone to not be switched of than you'll only be able to use it for calls.
Trust me on this one this is the best thing you can do to increase your productivity.
Hopefully it will make your life more productive.
So get back to show the world a new you and stay smart and more importantly Why You Need To Know What To Watch
