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.
