Re: Leaving FB.
I left FB 6 years ago. I was halfway around the world and felt like I was spending too much time worrying more about what everyone else was doing than where I was and who I was with. What I realized is that social media was people just showing me what they wanted me to see vs. what they really were.
Upside to the decision: less stress, more time, when I do see people I actually sit down and chat with them to catch up.
Downside to the decision: I'm a bit behind what's happening in the world but I think most of that is surface level.
Two other things I've done/am considering in the future:
1. Went off all news emails last May (except FT, for the data). Good call there.
2. Considering getting rid of my iPhone but really like having the camera and ability to share pics immediately. May still go back to a flip phone, especially since the iPhone 5 is being slowed down apparently, but I'm a lot more deliberate about when I use it and how.
