Another great idea that I thought of in the shower...

Lately I've noticed I am very distracted and often find myself on Facebook. The alarming part isn't that I am using Facebook; it's that I often don't know how I got there! I'll be unlocking my phone to check something else and all of a sudden I'll be scrolling through my newsfeed getting distracted. In recent times I have read waaaaaaay too many of the "15 facts you didn't know about..." articles - Can you even call them articles?! 

This morning I was trying to pray. I thought it was a good idea to check something on my phone... And before you know it I am reading some random link that I clicked on and I've wasted 15 minutes of my morning.

This isn't the first time this has happened. I'm quite aware of it. But this morning I decided I needed to do something about it... I believe I get my best ideas while I'm showering. And today I pondered what was making me so distracted and the answer came to me: I just check Facebook too much on my phone. So I deleted the app! I got out of the shower, got dressed, picked up my phone and deleted the app! When the "are you sure you want to delete your whole Facebook life" little question reminder popped up I didn't even hesitate! And just like that Facebook was deleted from my phone.

Spot the difference!

Does this mean I won't check Facebook? No. I'm still going to check Facebook! What I am hoping is that I will have more self-discipline, be more intentional about using Facebook and not just wasting time on it, and that I will use all the time I waste on something more productive - or at least is a better use of my time. After one day it has been amazing! What I need to kick next is my addiction to Snapchat!
