Alrighty, I’m 7 days into taking a break from facebook. Quick shoutout to all who have read and even those who have commented!
What have I observed so far?
– It was easier to get away from Facebook than I thought. So far, I haven’t had any real withdrawal symptoms 🙂 I can count on my hand the number of times this past week I got to the login page and remembered that I deactivated my account.
– Facebook really wants you to be sure that you really want to deactivate your account. They apparently take it seriously that you’re getting off of their network, with more dialog boxes than I expected confirming that this is what I want to do than I expected.
– There have been several articles I’ve found myself wanting to share/broadcast over the last week. I think I really like sharing links to articles. While I do send links to individual people via email, there’s something about being able to broadcast something to a group of people with the anticipation of seeing who will response and how he/she responds.
– This has been one of my more productive weeks at work in a long time. Some of that is independent of being off of Facebook, but I’m sure it’s at least another 20min per day that I’m gaining.
Well, that’s all I got so far. More to come after day 14!
