If you're anything like me, the first thing I do in the morning is grab my phone...and not just because I use it as an alarm. I see several notifications from Facebook... this person commented on your status, that person posted a new photo... When I open it up its like reading the morning newspaper. I keep scrolling, skimming through what's been left overnight while I lay with my eyes closed. I click "like" or post a quick comment... I do this usually before I even get out of bed. Sometimes I may spend 10-15 mins. That 10-15 mins is crucial when you're trying to squeeze in a workout, take a shower & get dressed for work, put on makeup, cook your child breakfast & get out the door by 6am.
At night I take one last look before I go to sleep. Not to mention the numerous times each day. It's become addictive! It's like a drug!!
This brings me to think... How much time would I have on my hands if I stayed off of Facebook?? Wouldn't I be happier & more productive?
Time to put it to the test. I challenge myself (and you) to stay off Facebook for one week!
Excellent challenge! And good points. I do check mine first thing in the morning. As of today, I'm at home recovering from wisdom tooth removal, but once I'm fully recovered and back in my routine, I want to do this! :)
ReplyDeleteNow if I can just stay off Google+... Lol
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be a fad amongst the Google + community. I may take a swing at it.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I haven't even missed it. One of my more recent posts was about how Facebook is linked to depression, anxiety, debt, etc... I can see the relation.
