Kick Your Facebook Addiction

Has Facebook has started to interfere your work, school and social life? If your answer is yes, then it’s time to put a stop to your addiction.



  1.  Take Facebook breaks.

If you’ve decided that Facebook is your source of entertainment, then be sure to use it as a reward for a job well done. The Pomodoro Technique  incorporates breaks every half hour in order to maximize time management.
Here’s what to do if you decide to try out Pomodoro:
  • Decide on what task you will work on.
  • Set a timer for 25 minutes.
  • Work on the task until the timer rings, then put a check on a sheet of paper.
  • Take a short break — even if it’s only five minutes on Facebook.
  • Every four cycles, take a break that’s longer than five minutes.

Marking the sheet of paper helps you keep track of your progress. Be sure those short breaks to Facebook remain short! Use the StayFocused clock to help keep you on track.
          
        2. Limit your time.

Once you’ve set your Facebook goals, decide how much time you’ll spend on site. Many of us who have tried to limit our time on our own have failed to keep up with our set goals. Programs like StayFocusd  can help keep you on track. An extension for Google Chrome , StayFocusd allows you to restrict your time for specific websites. Indicate how much time you can spend on a particular website, and once that time has passed, the extension blocks that site on your computer for the rest of the day. If you use StayFocusd, make sure you account for switching computers or Google accounts, so that you aren’t cheating yourself out of the benefits of using the tool.

        3.Share your goals.



Make Facebook work with you, not against you. Install a Facebook calendar app, like 30 Boxes , to organize and share your goals and events on the site. Ask your Facebook friends become motivators toward achieving your goals and meeting your deadlines. Make your schedule available to your Facebook contacts to help keep you accountable to meet those deadlines and goals. 30 Boxes Calendar is also compatible with several other platforms including Twitter , Blogger, WordPress, Yahoo! Mail and Google Calendar . It’s also accessible through your smartphone via a mobile version of the calendar.

           4.Decide what is of value on Facebook.
Whatever the reason for being a part of Facebook, boundaries matter and knowing what is of value and what is not will help you to rein in poor online habits. Even a reason of wanting to ensure that your family is kept up-to-date of your interstate or overseas happenings can meander out of control if your concept of "family" expands. If you use Facebook for work and personal reasons, the value will probably be broader, but it is still important to define the value boundaries for work and personal time. When deciding upon what value you're getting out of Facebook, consider the following:

  • Are you enjoying it? Is this enjoyment balanced with a whole range of other enjoyable pursuits in your life too?
  • Do you feel obliged to respond to some people on Facebook even though you'd prefer not to?
  • Which parts of Facebook really do improve your personal and professional life? It can be helpful to list these for clarity, and to clear some of the negativity and the trivia.

Cybersecurity: Protect Your Privacy From Hackers

     Call it anti-hacker software or go a bit further, but it will not stop a determined hacker from using such software to make it more difficult for hackers to get into your computer and access your data. For example, browser plugins can be used to prevent websites from tracking you. While Facebook can still track you when it's open, you don't have to be there all the time to track your browsing history, which can then be used to deliver targeted ads.       You can protect your computer by using a firewall and antivirus software and adhering to best practices for computer use. You can also protect your mobile devices by turning off Bluetooth when it is not in use, paying attention to the Wi-Fi network you are connected to, and using security applications to improve monitoring and protection.       As already mentioned, Internet-connected televisions and devices are widely available on the market. It is important to protect these devices, just like computers and smartphones. T...
