Seven Days In

I'm seven days in and noticing some things.  I'm definitely still thinking about what I might be missing out on on Facebook, but more like info that is shared on my local neighborhood groups or from local friends.  I definitely think I might cull down on some of the people I follow that I don't know, and instead just focus on people I do know.  I do kind of like that I'm getting used to not multi-tasking all the time - checking Facebook while working, or while watching tv.  I feel like I'm more focused on tasks (maybe just a little bit at least).  I still find myself checking personal email or DCNR or the news while working, but I am going to try and do that less and less as well.  Maybe focus on getting one task done before I do that, or focus for an hour and then take a break.  That's a whole other hurdle though.  

I do find that I'm reaching out to people via text more.  I texted a funny article to a group of friends instead of sharing it on Facebook, and that group included a friend not on Facebook, so in that way, I feel like I'm reaching out more personally rather than just globally sharing something on the internet.  Small steps :)  I'm glad I'm doing this because I'm really surprised how much I am thinking about it and how much is really has become a part of my life - for better or for worse.  I hope by the end of this month, it's less all-consuming, and more like just another app on my phone that I use.

Finished February Challenge - just 8 days late

 I finally got through all the Black History Month topics on the Discover Our Glory page.  I learned a lot - about events, people, and movements I was either fully unaware of or had heard about in passing, but definitely didn't know as much as about as I should have.  I'm really glad I did this and hope to review it each year and add more to the list and to my knowledge.   Black History Month

Almost to the end

 I can't believe it's almost the end of the month.  This has definitely been a good break for me.  It's gotten to the point where I don't really think about it (meaning Facebook) -which I was in the beginning, more than I was happy with.  Now I'll think about it when I'm sitting watching tv or when I don't have much to do - just like, I want to do some mindless scrolling.  I'll get that urge to check it and I normally would have, but now instead, I'll check the news, or just put my phone down and really watch tv without any other distraction.  I feel like not looking at it right before bed has been really good for me.  I feel like I've slept better, but man I've also been having crazy dreams!  Maybe I'm having more deep sleep?  I have no idea what that means.  Overall, I think I'll go back to Facebook, but maybe unfollow some people to keep it limited.  I'll continue to not look at it at night and also at work.  It was a huge d...

February Challenge

 For the month of February, my challenge was to learn some piece of Black History each day. I was not good about it. Turns out adding something like that to your day is very easy to procrastinate on. 😕 I’m not proud of it it and I am catching up. I have a few more topics to search up and learn about but I am determined to finish up. This is important to me and I want to keep to my challenge that made to myself. Must try better with my other challenges!!
