It's a little devil but still the one we all love. Starting out as a college network, Facebook has become a worldwide addiction and everyone wants to get more and more addicted to it as the days pass.
However, in this age, time is money and should not be wasted. This valuable mantra of life, though not enough for us to leave Facebook, can still be kept in mind. After all, who wants to be a complete slave of a mere 10-year old?
These are a few ways that you can use to make your Fb time more productive.
1. Stay Updated
No we don't mean staying updated with the love lives of your friends. Thanks to its massive reach, no news agency or media house has lagged behind in having a page there. You can 'like' all these pages and be updated with the latest happenings around the world. Once you follow the pages, the news would automatically appear in your news feed and you can have a look at them even while stalking your crush.
2. Stay Inspired
There are many pages on Facebook that offer you a daily dose of motivating and inspiring quotes. You can like such pages and when you feel low, which unfortunately is bound to happen in these competitive times, you can boost up your morale by seeing these quotes and pictures.
3. Do What Is Supposed To Be Done
It might come as a shocker to some of us but social networking sites are for networking with the society, not just family and friends. You can make contacts with people who belong to your profession, or those who follow the same passion as you do. Like pages, participate in healthy discussions and you would soon be thanking MZ for making Facebook.
4. Read What Others Write
There are many pages on Facebook that post short stories and articles about day-to-day lives. You can like some good pages and enjoy all these stories and articles, anytime you want. The most basic advantage of these pages is that you can connect with like-minded people and make some good use of your time. There are pages like 'The Anonymous Writer', 'Writers Write', and also some fanpages of various established writers, where you can find good content.
5. Get Creative
The pages you like and follow are created and managed by people like you. You can also show the world your creative side and start a page where in you can post about any particular topic, or a number of topics combined. A lot of creativity and a little bit of efforts will make you a mini celeb on Facebook, giving you a wide recognition and the joy of being known by thousands of people.
6. Laughing Out Loud
Facebook is meant for fun, so why not take a step ahead and enjoy what others are enjoying. There are several pages like 'Garbage Bin', 'Cyanide and Happiness' and 'Men's Humor', where you can have some good laughs while taking a short break from work.
7. Support Those Who Need It
While its not true that liking a picture of a disabled girl would make Facebook donate a dollar to her operation, there are many pages that seek your support for genuine causes. Take the example of Josh Hardy, a 7-year old cancer patient from Tennessee who was given a yet-to-be-released drug for his treatment after there were several requests from a Facebook page called SaveJosh and the hasthag #SaveJosh was made a trend on Twitter. This is the victory of every person who cared enough to request the company to value a life more than its business. You can also show your support in cases like this, and go to bed with a smile on your face.
