Go back to a decade ago (with today's knowledge of how social media would transform and grow, to make things fair), and imagine you were able to program yourself. Over the next decade how many hours would you allocate to 'waste time on social media'? How many hours did you actually spend doing that? I think there's hardly a person that's satisfied with the amount of time they spend on these outlets, yet actually stopping can be very difficult. It requires immense self discipline, an ability to realize where and how time can be more effectively spent, as well as a big picture view to even realize there's an issue to begin with.

With today's knowledge, I wouldnt create any facebook and reddit accounts (only social media where I feel like I wasted a lot of time on). Now I dont have any accounts there anymore. It wasnt hard to quit. All it took was a serious "oh fuck this shit" moment, just like I quit smoking. But am I a better employee because of that? I dont think so. Not having social media doesnt solve any motivation/discipline/attention span problems
