(Day Eighteen)
I'm in a slightly better mood at the moment. Work is a little more under control, my sickness is slightly better, and I just finished writing some Olive & Clyde copy. We have 15 cards under our belt now, with at least 7 more in the queue. Our progress over the last two weeks has been crazy. Basically we're awesome.
I was thinking this morning that there should be some kind of plugin or app that restricts your Facebook access. It's such a time waster, and very little good comes from it. There's absolutely no reason I need to check it more than 2-3 times a day. I usually just get annoyed at what people say on it, anyway, and is there ever really a need for me to know that a guy I knew in high school ate at an Italian restaurant tonight but wasn't happy with his entree? No. It's just routine at this point. Wake up, check social media. Break from meetings? Check social media.
There used to be a time when you didn't have to get likes on your vacation photos to feel like you had a good time, or when your husband taking you out to dinner was a romantic, private moment for the two of you, not an opportunity to take a photo of your dinner and talk about how romantic he is on Instagram.
While I wrote these last two paragraphs I checked Facebook twice.
Edit: Apps for this do exist: "Apps Block Social Media Because Users Can't Stop Themselves" from NPR.org
