Facebook detox

So this week I had a friend of mine change my facebook password so I can't get on it for the week, because I was getting way too distracted and I wasn't getting my work done enough. Kudos to Katherine Hodges, by the way, for introducing this idea to me! I have til Sunday with no facebook, and I'm not going to lie, it's been rough. I keep wanting to go on facebook, but I can't :(. But I've gotten so much work done without facebook!

Something that I think is interesting is how embedded facebook is in me. I never really realized before that I don't really go on facebook to talk to someone, or to do something, it's just because I get so distracted, bored, and just randomly. Now without facebook, I've been noticing that when I turn on my computer, the first thing I do is click my facebook bookmark, without even thinking about. Also, when I'm on the computer I randomly click the facebook bookmark, with no intention, I just do it. The only reason I think that I'm realizing this now is because I can't get on it! So when I get to the facebook page I just get to the login page, which makes me notice how much I go on facebook. When I get to that login page, I don't even remember trying to go on facebook, it's really weird....

So bottom line, facebook is actually a habit/addiction....no joke....
