One of the biggest objections people have when it comes to social media is that it takes way too much time. Although this can be a valid objection, there are usually underlying reasons as to why social media becomes time consuming for users.

Here are some of the reasons why social media may be eating up all of your time:

• You don’t really know how to use the different sites and because you don’t know how to use them, it takes you longer to figure out what to do.

• You don’t really have a plan and because you don’t have a plan you are always on the spot looking for the right thing to say and when that isn’t easy to do you get sucked in.

• You consume everyone else’s content and posts, you click on links, look at pictures and watch videos… because you are not clear on what you are there to do.
