A Self-Imposed Time-Out


Facebook.  It's the ultimate time sucker.

Last Lent, I gave up Facebook for 40 days and it was amazing how much time I got back.  When I returned, I whittled down my friend list and vowed to never let it consume me again.

Lies.

With my advocacy work cranking up to unprecedented levels, I have no choice but to once again attempt to kick the FB habit by bowing out for at least the duration of the month.  In the next three weeks alone, I have approximately 6 IEP meetings, a court date, and an enormous amount of paperwork to wade through.

As tempting as it is to log on and vent my frustrations over the internet to my friend list, I need to turn the negative spouting about shoddy record keeping and frustrating meetings into positive energy that empowers me to be the voice of change that I have been called to become.

Someday I'll be back.  But for now, I'm leaving the dark side for less time-sucking pastures.  Or something like that.

Love, hugs, and blessings,
The Mama

Thinking about riding your coattails out for the same good reasons.

Nice to see you again today!
I found a productivity enhancer for Chrome, too! It's called StayFocused. I'm using it already for Facebook and Ravelry.
