The impact of social media on our perception of time can vary depending on how we use it. For some people, the constant stream of information and updates can make time seem to pass more quickly, while others may find that spending time on social media helps them to relax and slow down.

According to a 2023 study by Hootsuite, the average person spends 2 hours and 27 minutes on social media per day.

As of January 2023, Facebook is the most popular social media platform worldwide, with over 2.9 billion monthly active users.

Social media's constant stream of information and updates can lead to a distorted sense of reality, making us believe that things are happening more quickly or more frequently than they actually are. It can also make us more impatient, as we are constantly bombarded with new information and updates, and less productive, as we are constantly distracted by social media notifications and updates.

To use social media in a more mindful and intentional way, it is important to set limits on your use, be aware of your motivations for using it, take breaks throughout the day, and use it to connect with others and build relationships.
