We all use the internet and using it right now as I am typing. Ironically, I realize that I tend to waste too much time online. Is there a verse or are there verses in the Bible which talk about wasting one's time and almost being too obsessed about social media? I have noticed this and I have decided to limit my time on the internet. I have spent all day online, or at least , it has been like this for months now. I stayed online at night to the point where I fall asleep at the computer. What Christian advice would you have for those in my situation outside of just get off of the computer, especially social media?

Anything from this world is a good servant but a bad master.

Sometimes physical hunger for lack of food in the cupboard is good for a person. The Bible has a LOT to say about the use of time. Most of it can't be used to make a person wasting time online feel good about their activities.
