I agree. Twitter, Facebook and social media activities, including email are incredibly time consuming.

I decided sometime ago - task firsts. I don't turn on my email, twitter or facebook until other tasks are done first.

Then I allocate 1hr only max - less if possible to answering emails, then attend to social media. Social Media according to experts is the 'now' genre that we should be paying attention to, but like everything - I consider that to be the 'cream' of a business, the backbone are your real tasks!

Hi great topic and well spotted ... and the main reason I built a website to cover this debate of over working when sitting in-front of your computer ... but instead of relaxing I do a routine of 5, 10, or 15 minute simple health exercises that keep me and my joints in flow and my mind and body flexible ... I no sitting for long periods at our computers can not be good for our bodies in the long haul ... how about you? ...
Relax for 15 to 30 minutes after each block of time is completed by taking a real break from your workspace (so it does not mean check email or Twitter!). You’ll end up being refreshed and ready for the next project task.

All my best to you and yours
