Quitting social media will make you happier The study also found that people had at least 60 more minutes per day of free time on their hands after leaving Facebook. The American Psychological Association estimates that trying to multitask with Facebook may reduce a person's productive time by as much as 40%.

Read More »Studies show that overuse of social networking sites can lead to negative feelings due to the constant overload of news and comparison against friends. Even temporarily quitting social media can lead to feeling happier, making more positive choices, and free up more time for productive activities. However, it could leave you a little less informed. If your resolution is tothis New Year’s — considering the threat of big data and what the Mark Zuckerberg-owned omnipotent social network could collect on you — it could result in a tectonic shift in your life.Multiple studies have found that the overuse of Facebook leads to depressive symptoms. Keeping away from the social media platform — for even a week — can lead to a positive impact.A 2019 study by researchers at Stanford University and New York University called the ‘The Welfare effects of Social Media’ found that once people quit Facebook more a month, they spend less time online overall. Rather than log into forums, chat rooms, or a Twitter war, they prefer real-world interactions instead, or in some cases, watch TV.The study also found that people had at least 60 more minutes per day of free time on their hands after leaving Facebook. The American Psychological Association estimates that trying to multitask with Facebook may reduce a person’s productive time by as much as 40%.The biggest observation, however, is that the 3,000 moderate Facebook users who participated in the study, were much happier after leaving their social media accounts behind.“Deactivation caused small but significant improvements in well-being, and in particular on self-reported happiness, life satisfaction, depression, and anxiety,” said the study.While being offline did leave the participants happier and more engaged with the real world, there was one significant catch. The knowledge of news and attention to politics declined to indicate that Facebook is an essential source of information.“We find that while deactivation makes people less informed, it also makes them less polarized by at least some measures, consistent with the concern that social media have played some role in the recent rise of polarization in the US,” noted the study.While the benefits of social media are real, so are the downsides. The study by Stanford University and New York University only confirms what many others have also determined. A 2014 study published in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology found that using Facebook correlates with being depressed.The more people are online, the more they compare themselves to their friends, and the more they feel bad about being inadequate.Another study by the University of Michigan found that how and when people take breaks from social media is determined by the extent of social media influence on a person’s self-perception.Even if you don’t want to keep away from Facebook permanently, a temporary break could bring about significant changes. A site called ‘ The Economic Effects of Facebook ’ found that it only takes one week away from the platform for the positive vibes to start flowing. As the consumption of the daily nitty-gritty decreases, users start to feel healthier and make more positive life choices, according to Nieman Lab

Read More »The best time to post on Instagram is between 6pm and 9pm. Content posted between 6pm and 9pm got the highest engagement rate, but in general, evenings are a pretty safe bet, as engagement remains on the high side right through to midnight.
On Instagram, it’s not just about what you say, it’s about when you say it. The time your content is shared has a dramatic impact on how many users see and engage with it. Here, we’ve broken down when Instagram posts tend to get the best engagement, both by time of day and week. These aren’t exactly set-in-stone rules, but they should still help guide you on your way. Before we dive into the recommendations, bear in mind that this engagement data is based on your audience being in the same time-zone as the account you’re posting from. Therefore, you may need to adjust these if your audience members are mostly based in different time-zones. For example, if the best time for engagement is 12:00, aim to post at 12:00 in the time zone your audience is based, even if this actually means posting at a different time for you.
