Social Networking Detox Day 3

So this is the last day of my Social Networking Detox. I was some what productive today but I did a lot of resting because of the shoot. Today I watched the movie Watchmen, I thought it was pretty interesting and it had deep message at the end. Sacrifice for survival is what I got out of it and there were some other points too but it took me a while to catch on with who was who as far the affiliation with the Minute Men but it made sense about 30 min into it. Overall I thought it was good movie. Later I did some straightening up around my room. Organized some production notes that needed to be done and prepared some things I need to mail off for tomorrow.

The three day detox seemed to be a bit helpful because I know in the back of my head I would probably be on Facebook or Twitter instead of doing some of those other tasks. In conclusion I've noticed that the urge to be on Facebook and Twitter was there, but I also noticed that taking care of business and not being in front of a computer screen or on the phone is a great thing. I communicated with one of my other friends, Amber and got her feedback and she said she accomplished a lot of things like talking to family and shopping but she too had the urge to get on to Facebook. Another one of my friends, Bianca said she got a lot accomplished at her job. It really comes down to a control issue. You have to ask yourself can you monitor or control how long you stay on either of the two sites and if not is it a serious issue that prevents you from doing other things in your life? Is it more of a distraction then it is a tool? Just ask yourself that question. You know yourself better than anyone else and if you're not sure if you're on a social site too much just look at how many posts/comments you've made within a day. Remember Time is always of the Essence.

On that note I end my blog post with this video my cousin sent to me this earlier this morning. Enjoy! Social Networking Video (video is below as well)
