So in the last few days...weeks...months...I've realized that I've become addicted to social media. I have a tumblr that I would spend the majority of my online time browsing through, and also I constantly have been tweeting and reading up on everyone's posts on Facebook. I would use those sites to distract myself from school, and so on.
Finally, I have decided to take a complete break from those sites. I'm starting semi-easy, with taking breaks from Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. I didn't have a hard time with Tumblr, although I did check in a few times after I made an official "I'm-taking-a-break" post to see if anyone said anything. I have only stopped Facebook and Twitter for a day now, and I have to keep reminding myself to not check things out on those sites. I have a habit of just opening my Twitter app on my iPhone, and now I have to train myself to not do that.
So, this is my good thing. I am fasting from these social media sites indefinitely. I don't want to be so heavily dependent on needing to know information right away. I want to spend more time away from my computer, and I also want to spend more time actually working on schoolwork. School needs to be priority!
Wish me luck! *gulp*
