5 Steps to quit Facebook addiction
(1) Set a Facebook-time: Set a time for checking your Facebook account. Suppose
you set the ” Facebook-time” at 7PM for 20 mins everyday. You have to check your
received messages, send messages and birthday wishes to friends, notifications
etc., everything within the stipulated time. Simply quit at 7.20 PM On-the-dot.

Instead of spending 20 mins, 7days a week; make it thrice a week events.
By setting a strict time and time limit, you cut-short your Facebook spending
time, thereby helping yourself to quit the Facebook addiction.
(2) Un-install Facebook Apps from your mobile/tablet: By un installing the
Facebook application from your mobile device, you simply reduced the use of
Facebook on the go. This action will reduce/stop your urge to check your account
from anywhere and everywhere.
(3) Develop a new addictive hobby: There must be some hobbies or activities you
must have cherished to blend with your life. But not able to, due to busy
schedule.
Now is the time to develop your favorite hobby (offline and physical) like daily
workout or swimming or lawn tennis etc. By doing this, you will not only be
diverted from your Facebook addiction, but also reap the benefits of physical
activities and good health.
(4) Turn off Email notifications: Facebook notifications for new messages and
activities via Email is the real turn-on to check the account. Turn them off.
Now, you will not be notified, when someone send you a message or give a like or
tag one of your photo.
Don’t worry, if the message is that important, your friend should have sent it
via your Email, or should have called you, instead of using the Facebook route.
(5) Hangout with your real world friends: It’s a known fact that, people who are
extrovert and usually hangout with their friends, spend very less time on social
media sites like Facebook.

relations with friends! Let the Facebook work for you, not, you work for the
Facebook.
