8:42-9:30 am - Woke up. Turned on my computer out of habit. Opened up browser, almost typing in "facebook," but instead, checked vcu email. Closed out browser, put computer to sleep. Carried on with morning routine.
Estimated time saved: 10 minutes
12:01-5:30 pm - Back in dorm. Grabbed a bowl of Mini Wheats, headed upstairs. Sat down at desk, contemplated going on facebook. Instead, clicked on iTunes and pull up my half complete playlist of favorite rock songs. Resumed listening and adding new songs. Later, cleaned room, went out to do errands, ect.
Estimated time saved: 1 hour
9:38-12:45 - Back to the room for the day. Facebook is tempting now, but I resist. Work on homework, read, visit friends in GRC, eat a snack, go to bed.
Estimated time saved: 1 hour 45 minutes
Total estimated time saved: 2 hours 55 minutes
Although it was hard, by not using facebook all day, I converted 3 hours of my time into other, overall more productive uses. I certainly am not about to stop using facebook altogether, but this experiment showed me that by cutting down on the amount of time spent having that website up, I will have more time to do other things, hopefully increasing my productivity at school.
