How I did it: Deactivating the thing did not work since I would have reactivate the thing just as easily. Also, putting 30 minute caps did not work either since I always feel like that's not enough time. So what did I do? I simply made it as boring as possible. I hid ALL the livefeeds so I won't click on random people that I don't really care about. I deleted a lot of my info from my profile so I wouldn't feel as attached. And now, I can finally get on with my life. THANK GOD!

Lessons & tips:

1. Deactivating the thing does not work; you can just as easily get on.
2. Don't use time limit-caps. Unlike food, it's perfectly healthy to starve yourself from facebook. Simply get bored of it. It's a bit of a mind-trick. (see below)
3.  When someone writes to you, reply using the "comment" instead of going to their walls. Their walls are just are filled with profiles that are great for procrastination...
4. The livefeed is the heart of facebook. Hiding all your friends does take awhile. But it's worth it in the end. I mean who cares if your friend is eating cake or going to ikea? This made my facebook even more boring- as a result, I get on less.
5. Delete a lot of your info. Such as interests, quotes, about me's. They just make you more attach to the darn thing.   
6.   I felt empty afterwards since I go on facebook a lot but it's fine. It's normal since facebook consumed a lot of my time. Volunteer or something. Or go to the gym, anything productive really. And if there's nothing for you to do, then find something! 
7.   Don't update your statuses! This is all willpower here but you really don't need the attention. Those "what are you thinking nows" just draws attention. People love attention, that maybe one of the reasons why people love facebook so much, for attention. Do yourself a favor and not post anything. The attention is not needed.
8.  The "people you might know" box is one thing I've tried to get rid of but can't. However, I found how the box works. If you click the "x" on the side, they will never show the person again. So the more you click on the "x" the less people you'll "know" will show up. So acquaintances will show up less and they will show random people you don't really know. Making yourself a bit more detached from facebook.  Making you facebook less. 
9. It's hard hiding your friends, but it's WORTH it. Just do it! they won't know! Oh plus, it's harder to "unhide" your friends than hiding it. The Idea of unhiding all my friends is daunting since I'v got so many and it takes forever. Yay for being lazy, and  it pays to be lazy!
10. Some people go to the extreme and delete the thing but I can't seem to let go of some of them. I personally would not do such a thing since I like to be updated from time-to-time. But making facebook boring and dull seems to do the trick. It makes me go on less and don't break my connections with my friends.
