This in & of itself is quite a feat for me...and one that I would like to implement on a more permanent basis. I hate to admit it, but I'm quite addicted to social media...and am trying desperately to kick my habit :) Upon returning from vacation, I also saw that my good friend, Rachel, decided to do the same thing & even blogged about it! Reading her blog was like deja vu to the thoughts in my brain from the previous week; it also helps to know that I'm not alone in my quest to focus more on actual relationships & not so much virtual ones. (Totally off subject, but Rachel's blog mostly centers around CAKE & is always a highlight in my week...you should definitely check it out!)
While I have checked FB a couple of times since Wednesday, it's been less than once per day...which is a huge step in the right direction. The most alarming thing I've noticed is how much I think about it when I'm not checking it...meaning that I spend WAY TOO MUCH TIME on FB! Trying to reroute this time to spend it on other things is quite the challenge since I am most definitely a creature of habit. I find myself staring at the screen of my laptop thinking...I wonder if I have any updates? I can't even tell you how many times this thought has crossed my mind today...and yes, I'm embarrassed to report that I have checked FB 3 times today.
My plan is to maybe check it once a week or less...I've really got to use my time to do more important things...like, well, my least favorite chore...cleaning...ugh. Although I hate it, it's super necessary! I shudder to think of the cumlative time I've spent each day on that website...it's quite alarming.
So, goodbye FB!!!!
