Here are a few ways you can tell your audience you won’t be online, and some tips for maximizing your time on social media so that you appear active but really aren’t spending your whole time online.

One way to effectively manage your social media on Facebook is to adjust your message settings.

Another great feature to use within Facebook Messenger is to Show a Messenger Greeting
