OMG, the relief...

I spend a scary amount of time each day on social media, increasingly so of late. So, with the season of Lent acting as a prompt, this morning I ran through my Facebook news feed and hit '"unfollow but stay friends" with all of my friends' posts. I hit "stop receiving posts from this page" for pages (although I did make a list elsewhere of my favourite pages, if I want to go back at some stage).

The scary thing was, once I'd done it I LITERALLY felt a weight lift off my shoulders. I thought I'd feel deprived but instead I feel released! That was unexpected.

And the prospect of having more free time each day is great. Like most people these days my life is busy - so those 30-60 minutes mean a lot!

Now to browsing while on work time. This one's a bit more tricky because I should read and network online for work reasons - I need to keep my skills and understanding up to date and to continue to learn all the time. I'll work on that one - but if you've any ideas on how to curb surf time (and increase productivity) I'd love to hear them!
