There is no doubt that in our day we do lot of activity that with our time in this topic I would like to talk about specific activity that waste my time a lot. It is scrolling through social media apps such as Instagram and TikTok. I usually do this activity in the evening and after finishing my studies and work or or even when I am taking a break, I usually pick up my phone for just 4-5 minutes to watch reels on Instagram but most of the time I cannot resist my temptation. I end up watching reels for more than half an hour. I think that this activity waste my time because I usually watch funny videos and short travel videos on social media and I think that I do not learn anything from these kinds of videos So, I think that instead of watching these reels, I can use my that time on more productive activities such as doing my pursuing my hobbies and doing the exercise. I can say that I am not able to completely reduce my screen time. However, I am trying to limit my time to watch the social media.
