Catch up on the previous days of my Facebook fast.
By day six, I no longer missed Facebook. I chatted with friends on this thing called a telephone. Do you remember those? You punch numbers, let it ring, and someone answers on the other end. It’s delightful.
I’ve never been addicted to coffee, but I know someone who has. He periodically gives it up. There’s a withdrawal phase — as with anything addictive — and I went through that phase with avoiding Facebook. However, avoiding Facebook became easier over time. I started to think about it less. Facebok status updates were no longer coursing through my brain waves or sucking up the energy of precious brain cells.
I wrote seven poem drafts this year. That felt good.

Deborah, I love that as an online marketing expert you took a 15-day Facebook fast. I work with business owners to help them minimize the various sources of interference to their productivity and so love when I see someone stop the automatic behavior, like you did, to discover life goes on, and so does business.
Creativity, effectiveness and relationships can all benefit. Enjoy the rest of your fast!
