Stop Building Other People’s Business
Keeping watch the reels and let others build their business.
When scrolling, others build a digital business with your social media scrolling.
As of October 2024, there are 5.22 billion social media users worldwide, representing a massive opportunity for engagement and growth.
“Social media is not just an activity; it’s an investment of valuable time and resources.” – Sean Gardner.
You are watching the reels. They are creating the reels.
You are commenting on their reels. They are engaging with people.
You are a consumer. They are creators.
When it comes to social media, internally, you feel you should not watch it, but then somehow you scroll and one hour elopes.
When working in the office, lunch breaks and some tea breaks allow you to scroll media, but it is always a struggle.
Internally, you feel you should not watch it.
Externally, you feel let me learn something or get me entertained.
The first shorts / the first reel is the starting point, and then you do not know when you are so deeply immersed in social media that you forget time and 30 minutes are over.
You feel bad that you have wasted 30 minutes of precious time.
Research shows that individuals spend an average of 2 hours and 19 minutes daily on social media, about 14% of their waking hours.
This time could be better utilized for personal branding and business growth.
“You are what you tweet.” – Alex Tew
You are back to whatever you are doing.
Guard Your Thoughts and Social Media
The problem doesn’t end with your work. The self-image that you generate here impacts you.
There is continuous self-talk: “ You are a time waster, a social media hooker, and you do not value your time. You are where you are because of habits.”
The above statements are correct, but they don’t help you in any way.
Do you remember your childhood when you had to study and woke up late?
As you wake up late from the scheduled time, “you start crying, or you feel so bad that for the next hour, you are into the deep emotions of getting up late and internal thoughts that make you cry.”
That has not helped you when you were a child. The same thing is not helping you here.
If you could change something in the past, it would be, ” OK, I woke up late 1 hour. No problem. Now, let me devote and concentrate fully on the available time. “
You did just the opposite. You are not a child now.
Stop blaming yourself and demeaning your self-image. The self-image you carry in the office affects you as a person in the office and even at home.
This impacts various aspects of your life. When the little voice from inside says, “You are a mindless socialmediaaholic. You waste time. You have no value for time. You are where you are because of habits. You are a thief stealing office time.”
The statements may be factual. Are they supporting you? Are they helping you in any case?
Stop labeling yourself as –
- Time waster
- Social media aholic
- Unproductive,
- bad habits, picker
- mindless social media watcher,
- cheater stealing office time
All that will not stop by itself. The little voice inside has been the product of your habits. You do not control that little voice inside.
It results from all the actions you take and your self-image. The moment your self-image becomes positive, the inner talk is supportive.
Your radio cassette will play inside your mind now:
- You are the best employee in the office.
- You are the most productive person.
- You utilize your time most effectively.
Guard your thoughts and let your inner voice/self-talk be positive.
Keep scrolling on social media, but guard your thoughts.
Stop impacting your life with your unwilling actions.
Start impacting your Life by willing actions.
Do that supports you mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Most of the time, this brings followers and comments.
