Yes, time management is definitely very important but also I think it's very helpful to focus on whatever task you are doing at hand. That helps you get things done more productively and effectively. I actually really need sleep to function hahaha so I sleep around 7-8 hours a night. I feel like social media or games is fine as long as it is controlled!
