Holy crap, I was wasting so much time on Facebook! Not to mention the agitated feeling I would get anytime I was away from the computer too long. Now I have no urge to linger on the computer, and I’m getting lots of work done. Updated my portfolio site, got a bunch of reading done, played a REAL game (Portal) instead of an app, and in general just feeling much more relaxed and in control of my time.
I highly recommended that you try quitting if you feel like it’s sucking your hours away. Do like me and have one of your friends change your password so you can’t have a moment of weakness and go back. I wish I had quit sooner!

Today, after much guilt over the amount of time I’m on there, and several failed efforts to reduce the time I spend on Facebook, I decided today to just do it.
- deleted the Facebook link on my bookmark bar
- removed the FB badge from my blog page
- Twittered my decision to leave FB
Now, to see if I can stay away.
I am leaving the account open (dangerous, I realize) so that my Twitter feed continues to broadcast there in order to keep using it to solicit new freelance, and to advertise what’s going on in my Etsy shop. Maybe I’ll have Jon change my password just to be sure I can’t get in. Yep, going to do that right now.

Every day that I have coffee, I have debilitating acid reflux which causes asthma. I NEED to stop drinking the stuff. Why is it so hard to stop? It smells so good. Apparently, drinking coffee is also linked to heavier consumption of alcohol, which I could stand to cut back on as well. I can do it, I just need to have more discipline. It’s hard when someone else in the house isn’t trying to give it up… so it’s always around.
