August Challenge: No Facebook!*

I admit it, I'm a Facebook junkie. Possibly even worse, I'm a Facebook creeper. I don't post a whole lot anymore and I rarely even comment on others' posts, but I'm constantly checking my news feed and seeing what's going on in my friends' lives, the news, etc. When I wake up in the morning, I spend at least 15-20 minutes scrolling through Facebook before my eyes are even properly opened and I'm still lying in bed. It's pretty bad. I've mentioned I'm a huge procrastinator and Facebook is one of my main enablers. Enter this month's challenge: NO Facebook in August!*


*Yes, I know there's an asterisk there. I'll allow myself the exception to post updates on the Thornberry Gatwick Facebook page, but I can access that without going through my personal account, so I feel like that's not cheating my challenge. I even put my Facebook app on an entirely separate screen on my phone to lessen the temptation!


I need to be more productive in other areas of my life. While I think Facebook can be a good tool to keep in touch with people who are important to me, I've been going overboard and neglecting other things I want to prioritize. I think this is going to be hard because I've been using Facebook as such a mental crutch, but hey - I quit smoking, so I can quit Facebook, too!
