When I want to do something particular on Facebook (e.g. message someone or post an update), I don’t go through facebook.com.
Instead, to avoid random updates distracting/tempting me, I enter only through following bookmarks :
- https://www.facebook.com/messages/
- https://www.facebook.com/karolrvn/friends
- https://www.facebook.com/karolrvn (Just my timeline, no random stuff) – This is the least distracting FB sub-page I’ve found so far suitable for posting updates. Probably there are better ways.
Voilà, FB becomes less of a time vampire and more of a tool :-).
I’ve just saved You thousand of hours ;-).
Ok, disclaimer and big red warning label: the ministry of health warns: with those links, Facebook can still be distracting, although less.
