When I go on Facebook or Twitter, I try my best to stay focused on doing a few things that are very important. I try to get in and then get out. I don't use them on my phone, just my computer. I turn off desktop notifications. I try to share things with the world. But then, I generally close all my Facebook tabs and windows. Because the little notification number can be distracting. You can look on the task bar and may notice that Facebook is always tempting you to go back in. Oh, you got mail said American Online (AOL). Oh, you got a new friend request. Oh, you got a new like. Ohhhhh, you got unread messages, posts, etc. Ohhhh, you pissed off Mark Zuckerberg or a random Facebook staff and you get the honor of sitting in Facebook Prison for an additional 30 days. But don't worry, you can still perhaps do some things on Facebook. Come back. Feed me, Seymour, said the giant human-eating Venus Fly Trap plant to the Honey I Shrunk the Kids star Ricky Moranis who also played Darth Vader in Spaceballs, a Star Wars parody like Thumb Wars. Moral of the story, never go on Facebook to check your Facebook. Only go there once in a while to share something that you think they really need, something very awesome that could go viral and help a lot of people. Get on Facebook, do something that is very valuable on Facebook and then get off. Don't hesitate for even one second. You got to be able to tell yourself, "Ok, just this one last thing and then I'm leaving and will not return until next week or whatever." Facebook is like a drug or like a tool. How much time a person should spend on Facebook depends on so many factors. But ultimately, an individual should contemplate how much time they should spend on it as opposed to simply letting desktop notifications or phone notifications keep a person like too excessively OCD, ADHD, and/or activated 24/7 by the notifications that can keep a person up all night and all day forever. I don't even let YouTube notifications distract me either. I also turn off my computer sometimes. I usually walk around with no phone because I don't want to be distracted or whatever.
