Besides limiting the time spent on certain websites or applications, these apps can also give us insight into the amount of time we spend on our phones as well as what we do on them. This allows us to be more aware of what we need to cut down on and lets us know how we should change our habits. In this sense, by physically reminding us to take a step away as well as keeping track of the time we spend online for us, we ensure that we do not get carried away using social media apps or websites.

In conclusion, social media might be highly distracting and its usage may be difficult for us to regulate. However, with the right strategies, we can limit the amount of time we spend on these apps and websites, helping us to stay on task and finish what we had set out to do.
