How to facebook less by mayoroftheparty

"Only on Sundays and Thursdays"

How I did it: At first, Sunday was facebook day. But the first couple weeks I did that, I missed a lot of birthdays and missed out on some events I would've went to on the weekend if I had gotten the invites sooner.

Now it's Sundays and Thursdays so I have the chance to hear about weekend events.

Lessons & tips: Pick a day, and don't go on unless it's that day.

Also, don't be someone who doesn't have an account or has deleted their account because they were on too much. Moderation is the key.

BIG TIP: I have a separate firefox profile for Facebook. I set the homepage to anything other than Facebook so I remember that I'm detoxing.

OH...

I didn’t realise facebook was addictive, but I believe that it has been designed this way. I was reading about the way they design certain sites especially to ‘hook’ people in.

Atleast 43 things allows you to positively keep in touch and socialise with others with similar goals while achieving personal passions as well.

I have never really been on facebook that much but thankyou for the advice to not get to that point where it is taking up too much time.

Good luck and heaps of blessings..

Regards
Shirley :)
