I've noticed two months ago that I am actually spending wasteful time in Facebook. I am sorry to those who love Facebook but I think its better if I will lessen the time spending into it.
Because of Facebook, I spend straight 4-6 hours without drinking water, taking a pee or thinking about imaginative/business ideas. That 4 - 6 hours is sometimes spent playing Facebook games. I am sometimes irritable when my daughter wants me to attend her needs, irritable because she is disturbing me in browsing my friend's and or relative's status.
Suddenly, it came to my mind, start to think the reason why I became bad-tempered. Is it because of FACEBOOK? I can't attend to my daughter's need because she's disturbing me? Is that it? Is that all?
A month ago, I started to reduce the time I am spending in Facebook. It is hard not to do it since opening Facebook is the first site I am opening from a tab. Admit it, Facebook, like smoking or drinking alcohol, is addictive. Business wise, Facebook inclination can minimize the hour we can spend in reading meaningful articles, doing household chores, mingle with friends, promoting our business,u re or invest quality time with our children.
I am not saying Facebook browsing is. If it's too much, then it becomes bad. I admit it's really hard not to look in our news feed. It needs discipline for us to overcome this Habit-forming, Unknown Addiction (Comment if there is a name for this type of Addiction).
What I did is I am shutting down or hibernating our laptop to abate the number of hours browsing Facebook. To my surprise, I became more productive. Our house is always clean, I can address the need of my 8-month old daughter immediately, I had a lot of business idea.. then when she is asleep, that will be the time I will be browsing the net, then I put the timer on, for me to be aware the number of allocated hours in browsing, and now my business is now growing because of this realization.
How about you, did you realized you became hooked into Facebook (or in online games)?, and how did you overcome it?
