If you feel it's a distraction, yes.

For GCSE I didn't go for this approach as it was still a very social time where friendship groups continue to change and develop. A levels are where you really need to knuckle down and focus more on academics than social life. I deleted my social media at the start of A level and it was the best decision I ever made! Don't let yourself be distracted and keep focusing on your long term goal, and you will do fab. Best of luck :smile:

they really are though!They waste your time, they have nothing necessary in them, just get 1 like facebook but dont get the app on your phone. Therefore limiting the only use of it to your PC but tbh, cba with PC therefore you wont be tempted to procrastinate as much
Its TSR that is the issue with procrastination
Believe me - I know :erm:

You don't have to delete it. Just only use it at certain times of the day.

Sometimes I do need it to contact friends about skl work but I suppose if I actually write down the homework I wouldn't need to ask them :biggrin:

Oh well, I guess your right, not what I wanted to hear :tongue:

More "DELETE" than "KEEP" so might have to delete soon :frown:

Also surprised on how quick everyone replies
Appreciate the kindness :colondollar:

Delete ASAP

Even if you do end up deleting, you may end up creating a new account when bored.

Work until 9 then do whatever the hell you want, time to relax is important so rather than removing your sources of relaxation just manage your time better so that you can work at a high intensity then relax properly.

I deleted my most used social media apps when I was revising for my mocks and actual GCSEs and it did help get rid of the distraction. You don't need to delete them for a long time, just whenever you have intense revision periods e.g. during the holidays / close to exam time.

Instagram is pretty pointless anyway. Just get rid!
