A friend?Step 2: Gather data. Self-monitoring increases awareness, which leads to changes in behavior. Take one day, and note each time you use social media, whether it's a website or an app. What are you using? For how long? And most importantly- how do you feel when you are done?Step 3: Analyze. Look at your data and look for patterns. You can employ the SWOT method. Determine, based on your personal use of social media- what are the Strengths? Weaknesses? Opportunities? Threats?
