Quit Social Media While You Move

There are lots of great ways to save time on your move. You can hire movers, junk removal teams, move out cleaners, recruit friends and family or even hire a moving assistant. Or you can just quit Facebook and give yourself more time to deal with more of the move yourself. 

The average internet user spend around 10 hours on social networking a month. Around 6.75 hours of those hours are spend on Facebook. To read more about how are time is used on the internet, check out this nifty infographic that was released by Morrison & Foerster. It seems more and more of our time is spent on our phones, computers and televisions, that leave us with little free time for things in reality- like moving for example.

It doesn't need to be necessarily Facebook that you quit. Quitting any habit that takes up a lot of time during
the move can give you the extra time need to plan, organize and actually preform the move. Perhaps you spend a lot of time on television, texting, reading, drinking or whatever. Honestly consider what is taking up a lot of your time that doesn't benefit you all that much.Vow to quit one of the time consuming habits just for the duration of the move, but try not to quit any healthy habits (like exercising for example). Quitting this habit  will give you a bunch of extra hours to deal with moving related nightmares! 

You can return to Facebook or whatever else as soon as the move is over. I just chose to pick on Facebook, because it something I spend entirely too much time on some days. If you are going to quit for just a while, I recommend disabling your account. You can start it back up as soon as you are ready to return to the world of social media after you deal with this whole real world moving thing.

Quit Before You Run Out of Time to Plan Your Move
