Facebook: keep it or delete it?

OK, so this is my first attempt ever at a blog. I'm sure there will many changes along the way, as I hope to learn more about it. But for now, let me attempt to vent my frustrations with....well, myself!

I really want to minimize my time spent online. I am constantly checking and re-checking facebook, as if something vitally important has changed within the last 10 minutes. Obsessed is the best word to describe me. It's become unhealthy and a very big stumbling block with my time management. I can't seem to control myself. 


On the other hand, it has some benefits. I am not a very good phone conversationalist (even with my own mother!)and me updating my "project 365" album is a way for those who are interested to keep up-to-date with my life that I may not otherwise share. It has also become a sounding board for my extended family on my mom's side to discuss upcoming parties and events, which I would miss out on contributing my opinion to should I deactivate my account.


So, the question is posed: "Is it worth my time to keep my account active? Or would it be wiser of me to cut it off?"

I hope you'll be patient with me on this journey of blogging and venting and generally thinking out loud. 

Thanks for joining me!
