Life after de-activating my fb(Facebook) account.
I am on a self-imposed challenge of not using fb at all for a year.This came into effect on 12th February,2017.Though it's only been around 100 days since then,here's what I experienced in my life after that -
- Now a days I am more active on Quora. From the name itself,it starts with a Q(question) and ends with an A(answer).This according to me exactly suits social networking.
- Finished watching GOT(till season 6) and Mr.Robot(till season 2).
- Been actively participating in fantasy sports like dream11.
- Exploring myself by getting to interact with others directly instead of using online tools.
- Life feels a bit nice as I feel to have more time for myself,be it utilising it to play cricket outdoors with friends or going for a walk in the morning alone.
- I wish to continue this process(of not being on fb)till 12th of Feb,2018.
- Realized that more than money,time is the biggest asset.
- Actual motive behind this baby step was to concentrate on doing programming and reach atleast to level of top 20 percentile by next year.Though this goal requires further time.
- Now that the holidays are on,resumed courses on Udacity- online learning resource.
- Sleeping for a min. of 7 hrs at night due to which I am more active in the mornings.
- Effectively utilizing internet for what it is meant to be used for.I have to say,spending time on fb is the worst one could do for entertainment.
- I restricted my use of Whatsapp too to a limit of an aggregate of an hour a day.Other than these two(Quora,Whatsapp) I am not on any other social media.
- Got time to reflect on my own life like where I wish to be 5 years from now.After that,I set my priorities and implementing the same in my routine.
Edited to add -
- I am more active on YourQuote now a days. The description of it is - "YourQuote is Asia's fastest growing writing app and is currently enabling 500,000
+ writers practice creative writing daily, by combining two essential aspects of mobile products: beauty and brevity. Try YourQuote on Google Play/App Store and see how it will hook you if you write." - I write on this occasionally like once in a month.
- During my time away from fb, I tried my hand at Arduino uno and realized that semi-conductors isn't my field of interest.
- I am no where in the top 20 percentile in programming viz, but it's fine.
- The original post was published way back on 24/05/2017 and now the edits have been made today(12/02/2018).
Yeah...Bro, Very very Nice. How was your life when you are on Fb...
ReplyDeleteIt was like infinite loop of scrolling the news feed and wasting precious time.
