Yep, it was that easy for me.
I'm not anti-Facebook by any means. I know a lot of people have an opinion about how it doesn't respect your privacy or whatever. Here's a tip for that: Don't post so much personal information in the first place. Am I right?
But really, I found myself just randomly "checking" Facebook throughout my days. Living on the other side of the world, it's pretty dead because everyone back home is sleeping. Out of habit, I'd just randomly sit down at the computer, look at Facebook.... every 20-30 minutes. What the heck?! Not anymore. I'll have my life back now, thank you.
For months I was beating myself up for not being a super mom. Why can't I take care of the baby, keep the house clean, and cook dinner every night? Oh wait. I totally can do that. Just eliminate the biggest distraction known to mankind! Mission: Accomplished.
I'm hoping with this Facebook hiatus, I will not only be more productive, but also blog more. I'm embarrassed at how little I've blogged while in China. I was posting every other week in Korea. Here it's been such a lull. Maybe now I'll have the inspiration. I'm going to get out and do more things; I'm going to read more, make crafts, exercise, write, see friends. Bring on the life experiences, I'm game!
It was a hard decision to get off of Facebook because it really is the main mode of communication with everyone at home. So, I messaged the few that I talk to regularly, exchanged email addresses, and said, "See you later." I know those closest to me check my blog, have my email, and can text me via WeChat.
I made cupcakes for the first time since moving to China two+ years ago.
Hooray Productivity!
