Cutting down on Facebook time
Cutting down on Facebook time
How to decrease time spent viewing Facebook
I think I have the compulsion to check Facebook every 20
minutes, I put up a post on the wall then check over and over to see if there
is any comments or likes, I check almost once an hour to see if I’ve missed
anything, I check the online part to see who I can chat with over and over all
day long.
When I am not at my computer I check it on my phone, I wake
up first thing in the morning and check Facebook to see if anything has been
posted overnight, or I check the Facebook and see if I missed anything or any
comments on previous posts that I found amusing. Why do I check this so much? I
would say off all the time I spend looking at Facebook I could condense the
whole lot in to 1 look at the end of the day or 1 look at the start of the day,
the continuousness update and news feed to other peoples life I don’t really
need to check it that much
So I’m not quitting Facebook but I am going to change my
habit on that site. Instead of constantly needing to be kept up to date with
what people are posting , I am only going to check in once per day. I’ve posted
on there and looked already about 5 times so far today, the time I am going to
choose for checking Facebook Daily will be 9pm that way I would have the
majority of the day’s news feed to check all in 1 go, and if there is anyone
online I want to speak too they are most likely at home.
I like Facebook I think it a good tool, but it’s just annoying
me how I look at it so often and most times its pretty much the same posts I
just looked at 15 minutes ago, so if I just check it once a day I can see the
whole action from the day and clump all the time I would have spent in to one
chunk of time.
Part of the addiction to Facebook is the constant quick
spikes of gratification need to delay
these to just once a day, then mite even try checking Facebook just once a week
, but think with the speed in which ideas and communication and public opinion
changes think just once a week looking on this site, may miss something of use.
