If social media has you down, here's a guide to slowly but surely walk away, temporarily or for good.
There's a lot of different types of social media out there. Whether you're into the image sharing at Instagram, the pithy textual tweets of Twitter, or the uber-networking of everything social at Facebook, they're all more popular than ever.
But they are also under fire as much they've ever been. Do you realize that the first "Quit Facebook Day" was held almost five years ago? The social network was barely out of diapers at that point, and the backlash had already begun. Today, Facebook is the whipping boy of all things wrong with social networking, and maybe for good reason. But it doesn't matter what network you're into: when it takes over your life, it's not a good thing.
Here's my dirty little secretabout the same time that Quit Facebook Day was commencing, I realized I had a big problem with Twitter. I was following fewer than 200 people, maybe half of whom actively updatedbut I was utterly obsessed with never, ever missing a single tweet. I had third-party Twitter apps on my phone, desktop apps running on the side of the screen, SMS alerts, email alerts, you name it. If someone said something clever with 140 characters, I had to know.
Then, one day, I didn't. Well, I did...but the amount of work I wasn't getting done, and the number of real-life friends I was ignoring wasn't worth that. I had to do something radical. So, I cut myself off.
I didn't miss out on anything world-shaking, the globe kept on spinning. Eventually, it felt utterly normal to not be on Twitter all the time.
These days however, I have the same problem with Facebookand at least there, I actually know most of the people.
So, knowing I have a radical chance coming, I analyzed why it's a problem, why it's not that big a deal to take care of it, and best of all, the steps it takes to go off social networking, either piecemeal or cold turkey.
