I was just wandering around the net as always and I stumbled upon a nifty site (theoatmeal.com) and I found a quiz there “How Addicted to Facebook Are You?” I am a fan of logging, and as you can see I got the result of 49%. I guess I can say I’m only half addicted to Facebook? Anyways, after finding out about this, I have cooked up some home remedies to avoid Facebook Addiction.
- Start reading blogs. I personally subscribe to dozens of blogs and reading 100′s of them a day. In my experience, I take 45 mins – 1 hour to read all my blogs. You surely will learn a lot more then reading what you’re friends have to say about their MouseHunt.
- Read a novel, or if you could, write one.
- Play your consoles, Wii, PS2/3, DS, PSP. I’m sure they miss you.
- Surf Wikipedia. You’ll realize how each article will start linking you to one to another and it gets more enjoyable and fun to read.
- Go outdoors, there’s plenty to do there, just don’t bring your laptop or cellphone along.
- Learn a programing language, it will surely take up too much time that you’d get away from Facebook.
- Learn to play a musical instrument.
- Try out Plurk or Twitter, it’s like Facebook only cut down to having the live feed only.
- Use Flickr or Picasa for photosharing.
- Remove Facebook in your bookmarks, as your homepage, and as a web app in your dock (or any other way you can easily be tempted to access Facebook).
Following these I got myself five days without logging in… What?! Five days is an achievement
