What Leaving FB Behind Taught Me

January 15, 2013 by Kat

So for two months, I left FB behind – I thought “how will I ever survive”, but the good news was, I did. Not only did I survive leaving FB behind – I didn’t miss it too terribly much once it was gone. After the first week or so, I didn’t seem to care anymore. I did care that I was missing some pieces of the people I love. I came up with a new plan of action. I no longer had a deactivated FB account, I completely deleted it! Wahoo! With all the changes with the Timeline, it is no longer feasible to delete a person here or there who pollutes your FB with negativity/rants, treats you poorly or just plain has no good reason to be on your page in the first place, with all that said – “DELETE”. I came up with a new strategy – if it’s not for good, then it must go away! And in one click and 14 days later – my original account with a ridiculous amount of friends was forever scraped from Facebook. Yippie!

20 Days and Counting…

October 18, 2012 by Kat

Today has officially been 20 days since I deactivated my personal FB account and honestly I feel more free and more productive than I have been in years. I do feel a little out of touch with what my friends are doing, but there is this amazing thing – a phone – I text, email or call to see what’s going on with them, I get outside and talk to them – I know fascinating discovery, but yes, it is there. What would you do with a social media hiatus of sorts – know thankfully I still have Twitter and all the other networks I use, but I can say that fleeing FB has been freeing… Anyone care to join me?

Bye Bye FB!

September 28, 2012 by Kat

Sometimes we have to say, “Sayonara” to too much of a good thing and sometimes we need to celebrate the Lenten season sooner than Easter. Yes, I know, I am a social media-lite momma, but am taking a different approach using my blog, and twitter to gain readership and after much thought, I am giving up FB for a while. I want to focus on my family, my blog, my writing and so many other things that bring me great joy – FB is sucking the life and time out of me. I still have access to the many pages I manage, but my personal page will go away for a while. The great news is I hope to encourage readership on this blog and my family blog and put FB wasted efforts into improving the life I think is already great. I hope you can keep with me on this journey and “Like” my “It’s Kat’s Life” Facebook page to keep up with all my posts. Hope today is a great one!
