So is facebook just another friend building dating site? No never the unique feature of facebook is that it has space for all type of individuals. Even if you are a hard core businessman you can utilize facebook to promote your company with the endless facebook users. Even if you are a teacher who hates students wasting time on facebook, you can utilize the facebook resources to your use and to help students.

So the question here is how to avoid wasting time on facebook? The question has to be answered individually by every one of us ourselves and the answers will definitely vary from one person to another.

So answer these questions yourselves.

1. How much time do you spent daily on facebook?

2. What exactly do you do on facebook? –  e.g.: 

• chatting, 
• making new friends,
•  interacting with old friends,
• updating status and reading the updates of others, 
• promoting your product / service via facebook fan page, 
• studying interacting with similar minded people via facebook groups,
•  playing facebook games, 
• doing the random facebook app requests,
•  browsing the others profile. 

3. How much time you feel you should spent on these activities?

After thinking hard and identifying what all you do on facebook, spent some time to understand how much time you feel you should do all these? Suppose if you chat with your friends daily around 2-3 hours or suppose you play facebook games daily for 1-2 hours, do you really feel happy doing that. Or are you really feeling a bit of remorse for wasting time on such activities?

If the second thing is happening for you, then it is time for you to cut down your time on facebook. Prepare a strict timeline for facebook. Do not just avoid all your activities at once. But cut down the time for that activity. Gradually reducing the facebook time day by day or week by week will get you forward on facebook addiction.

The word gradual is the key here. 

Proper Way To Use Facebook

Facebook can be beneficial to everyone too. If they understand their goals and make a serious effort to use the proper resources on facebook, the social networking tool would be the best tool available on the internet.

If you are a student you can find endless groups which discuss actively your subject. You can participate in such discussions and can really make a head way above your peers in the class rooms. If you are an online marketer, you can find endless ways to promote your product online on facebook.

I used to spend at least 8-10 hours online per day before I got my day job for finding various freelancing jobs and to get updated myself with the new developments in the blogosphere.

Facebook can be an effective tool if you learn to avoid wasting time on facebook and use that to your gain. The man who made facebook is not to be blamed. How well we use it is all up to us.
