I don’t believe in making new year resolutions. I believe that when a change is necessary in life, today is the day to make the resolution.

I love using Facebook. It connects me with friends I don’t see often, all over the world. It gives me a glimpse of their lives even if I am thousands of miles away from them. But lately, my newsfeed feels like a lot of “noise”. And admittedly, it is also a major time sucker for me. So, I think it’s time to try putting Facebook away for a while. I’m not deleting anything. I’m just taking a break, and see how it goes.

I figured I’ll gain at least 30 minutes a day by giving up Facebook. I will use that time to do other things I love or have been wanting to get done.

For the month of August, here are my resolutions:

1. No Facebook access
2. Read 2 books
3. Walk 10,000 steps everyday
4. Finish the classroom modules of the PADI diving course

Alright, let’s see how this goes!
