Coffee breaks are refreshing. Take a short walk, smoke ‘em if you got ‘em, fill your coffee cup and head back to the desk for a second wind and a great second half of your work day. More productivity, higher morale, and a happier disposition.
It works the same way in social networking.
You could consider the social networking a part of your recreation. It’s so fun you don’t want to give it up. But if it’s that much fun then you may not be getting any work done. On the other hand, if it’s too much work then how social is it?
The fact is, if you are social networking to make contacts for your business then it is work just like any other work. That’s not to say you are spending the entire day networking, but some people do. You start your day a-Twittering and it just doesn’t stop. Take a break. Refresh yourself.
It’s OK to take a day off of Facebook and come back refreshed. You might even take a full week. But don’t be gone too long. Any momentum you’ve built up by networking can be destroyed with too long off. So measure your days and refresh your energy. You deserve it.
