Social media has become a hotbed for drama, but many young people choose to use the evenings to develop themselves. Try to discover effective ways to develop yourself and stay away from the drama cycle.

Stay up all night watching drama, feel tired all day the next day

Social media is increasingly becoming a "hot stage" at night when a series of livestreams and sensational news continuously appear. Many young people stay up until dawn just to update each development of the controversy.

HTN (25 years old, office worker) shared: "I'm looking forward to all the dramas, from the controversy over TikToker Pham Thoai calling for charity, the story of a football player's wife posting a controversial status, to ViruSs livestreaming a love confrontation.

At first I just watched for fun, but the more I watched, the more I got caught up in the comments, and then watched more analysis videos. When I looked back, it was almost 3am. The next day I woke up late, tired from work all day, couldn't concentrate."

Use the evening to develop yourself

There is no denying the appeal of sensational information on the internet, but instead of getting caught up in the drama, many young people choose to take advantage of the evening to develop themselves.

Tran Thi Thanh Huyen (Sunhuyn), 31, a content creator specializing in personal development and founder of Beso notebook, shared that she always considers the evening an important time to learn and relax. It is not only a time to rest, but also an opportunity to develop herself sustainably.

One of the habits she maintains every night is reading. Huyen often chooses light, pleasant books to help relax her mind after a day of work.

Reading in a quiet space, combined with classical music, not only helps her relax but also brings valuable knowledge.

Besides reading books, she also has the habit of writing a diary every night, recording what she learned during the day, her personal feelings and setting goals for the next day.

Writing things down on paper helps her release her emotions a lot, especially when her business is busy and stressful. By maintaining this habit, she feels more balanced and not caught up in everyday stress.

"I believe that if young people know how to make use of the evening, they can practice thinking, improve their knowledge and maintain mental health.

By building a reasonable and effective routine, they will develop themselves without feeling overwhelmed.

Just by setting a small goal every night, like reading 10 pages of a book before going to bed or studying English for 15 minutes, everyone can gradually improve themselves," said Ms. Huyen.

Ms. Huyen also noted that it is important to avoid falling into a state of "night unconsciousness" - the habit of scrolling through the phone until late at night without realizing the time has passed. To control this, she encourages everyone to try to set limits for themselves, such as not using the phone after 10pm.

If you don't like reading, you can listen to podcasts instead. If you don't like exercising, you can try walking. The most important thing is to find an activity that suits you and that you can maintain long-term.

Divide your evening time effectively

Hue Duyen (29 years old), a presenter in Da Nang City, said that she still updates information on social networks but in moderation. According to Duyen, knowing a little bit will be beneficial, helping her not to be left behind by the stories people are talking about, and at the same time training her ability to look at problems from many angles. However, instead of spending too much time on negative news or drama, she prioritizes activities that help her develop better.

“I always try to balance my evenings between studying, exercising, relaxing and resting. From 6pm to 7pm, I spend time exercising and having dinner. Then I study English, learn guitar or hone a new skill for about an hour.

Next, I relax for about 30 minutes by listening to music, watching short films or surfing the internet in a controlled manner. Sometimes I spend this time chatting with friends, connecting with family to maintain positive emotions.

From 9pm to 10pm, I have a habit of writing a diary, recording what I learned or felt during the day, and at the same time planning for the next day. Before going to bed, I relax with my favorite activities and avoid exposure to blue light to have a deeper sleep,” Duyen shared.

Duyen shared that on busy days, she flexibly adjusted her schedule and shortened some activities. There were also days when she was in a bad mood and spent most of the evening cleaning the house or sitting in a cafe alone watching the streets, but no matter what, she always tried to make sure the time did not pass in vain.
