Facebook

[roadie gal]

I estimate I spent approximately 2 - 4 hours at a time on FB per day. The problem is that it has effected my study time and study quality. I had to level with myself that it was turning into a problem and accept the fact that it had to end. There are many recovering alcoholics and gamblers in my family. Apparently this is my 'issue'. I stopped playing video games for reasons similar to this. I would play video games for 7 - 8 hours at a time and honestly I was afraid this FB thing might escalate into that. TE is different somehow, I don't stay on it for hours on end, which is why I am allowing myself to stay here. I feel at least this is educational and health oriented in many ways. I can't say that about FB, if I spend 3 hours there I don't know anything new. With TE I might learn how to fix my brakes w/o spending a bunch of money at the bike shop or discover that the pannier I was about to spend $90 on was not so great

I do wonder how many others have found themselves in a similar predicament.

VERY smart/ insightful/ brave of you to recognize that you have a potential problem. Good luck!
