One of my many bad time management habits involves Facebook.
I never had the self-restraint to just check my account weekly or monthly. No,
it was a daily bad habit. And, I am sure that if anyone actually computed the
number of hours I spent on Facebook, I would be embarrassed to have wasted so
much of my life.
Then one day, I finally came to the realization that something
needed to be done: I deactivated my account. There is nothing quite like having your estranged husband
post about his new relationship status to bring the role of Facebook in your
life sharply into focus.
It was strangely refreshing. I was still in
touch with all my closest friends outside Facebook, i.e. in ‘real life.’
Anything I really needed to know, someone told me. Life went on, minus the
personal information overload. Bonus, I gained an extra 10 minutes every day.
That’s two and half days of my life
every year.
