Social media usage log



I did this over thanksgiving break while I was in Las Vegas

I chose to do it at this time because I really wanted to focus on spending time with my family instead of being on Facebook, or on my phone in general. This log took place on Thanksgiving Day:

·         8:00 a.m.-            Checked my Facebook page when I woke up (unfortunately, that’s part of my morning routine)
·        
           10:30 a.m.-          Went on Facebook to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving, and I also had to brag about the lions winning
·        
            3 p.m.-                  After my last post on Facebook, I left my phone in my room to charge. When we were about to eat our dinner I brought it back out to take a picture and post it on my page
·         \
            6 p.m.-                  Complained on my Facebook page because A Christmas Story wasn’t on t.v.
·         
           9 p.m.-                  Checked my Facebook page to see posts about Black Friday. Since I was in Las Vegas, I was 3 hours behind everyone in Michigan. I was curious to see how everyone was holding up back home.
·       
          10 p.m-                 Checked my phone one last time before I put it away for the night and played board games with my family.

This was far less than what I normally do on a normal day, I think. The only social media site I really ever use is Facebook as well, so I can only check that so many times in a day before I get bored of it. I’m glad I chose to do this on Thanksgiving Day, it made me conscious of how I was spending my time. I rarely get to see all of my family together, and I would rather spend the day with them than on my phone.
