    I unfortunately check first thing, it's become a habit that I really need to break, that and getting off as many social medias as possible

    @aaronoleary same here, I have started uninstalling my social media every 3 days to break the habit, as I found that the app time limit doesn't always work.

    After I get to the office and go through and respond to all my emails and set the task list for the day. So usually around 2-3 hours after I wake up. I might check at lunch but not usually but my bad spot is the evenings when Iโ€™m bored.

    I wake up at 5am and start working on he most important thing of the days. I first check social media at 730am for a brief 15 min. I go to social media for writing, posting and scheduling at 930am before my actual workday starts at 10am. From 10am onwards whenever I get a free time between works, I check the social media and comment. Those are just quick 5 minute thing (4-5 times a day).

    Unfortunately, as soon as I get up. But I also want to change this habit :)

    d. Typically not at all. I visit my social profiles every few days. There are exceptions, like if I've just uploaded a cool drawing and want to see how many likes it's got, I might visit every few hours haha.

    The leading answer is clearly "As soon as I get up" here with a dash of guilt on the side! Strongly advise getting a basic alarm clock and leaving tech out the bedroom! Exchange the social media time for reading a book time. Minimum 5 pages a morning and it's a beautiful fresh way to start the day. You'll notice the positive difference in days. Social is rarely ever missed and you can typically forget about it until midday. This is great option! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/prod...

    Most of the time I'm just not ready to get out of bed yet and I would check Twitter and reply to a few messages there. Not the healthiest habit but I can live with it.

    First thing in the morning.Wake up to twitter to see what's happening in the creators space.

    Personal social media, before bed. Company channels, hammer it out at the beginning of the day.

    As soon as my eyes open. Social media is the new smoking.

    Coincidentally I came across this thread today. Having two phones: - a cocaine phone - a kale phone I might seriously consider this https://twitter.com/george__mack...

    Hi Scott, this article really got me thinking about my social media habits :) I used to be guilty of checking my phone first thing in the morning, but I've been trying to break that habit and instead start my day with some mindfulness exercises. I do find myself scrolling through Instagram or Twitter during my lunch break. I'm curious, what strategies have you found helpful in managing your social media usage throughout the day?
