1 Acknowledge your addiction. Accept the fact that you are addicted and know that you ought to get over this addiction for a better lifestyle.

2 Whenever you have that urge to log in to see what's new, stop and think why you joined this social networking site in the first place, to connect with old friends or find people with common interests.

3 Next, think how much time you would be needing for these activities that you signed up for, be fair to yourself and make a time table with time slots of the various activities you do while online. Say, 15 minutes for checking and replying to notifications and 10 minutes to update your profile etc. Defeat a Social Networking Addiction Step 4.jpg 4 Now, stick to this time slot and only use the social networking site when you know that all your days work is done over with. Do not promise yourself that you will be online for 20 minutes and then get back to work, it doesn't work and you'll find that 2 hours have flown by and you are still online and your work is pending. Only and only log in once you are completely free of all your responsibilities.

5 Delete extra people from your friend list, the more the people, the more vast your news feed, and the more time you spend checking things out while you could be engaging in a useful activity. Change that wooping 4 digit number to a reasonable number of friends who you really know and conciser as friends.

6 If you have an important assignment coming up then temporarily deactivate your account or install COLD TURKEY, a programme which physically blocks you from various addicting sites. (It's great)

7 Think about the useful things you could be doing instead of wasting time on these sites. You could: Learn a new language, play an instrument, socialize physically and not virtually, get fit and exercise, learn a new recipe, take the dog out, date an attractive guy/girl, do yoga, read a book or even pursue a fun hobby.

8 If none of the above works out, take a deep breath, muster your courage and permanently delete your account, remember it's for the best. 9 Believe in yourself, you know you can do it, beat that addiction)

Nothing wrong in social networks if you use it properly, but so many times people mistaken online life for reality and living in a virtual world. Sad thing is that people realise too late that they've an addiction problem and in the meantime they lose people from real life.
