Facebook and Free Time

In being deliberate with my time I am finding I need to eliminate some things in my life so that I have more time available to be productive and have new experiences. To start with I am taking a break from facebook for the entire year. I won't be logging in at all through my phone or computer.

Those of you that know me well know that this will be difficult to begin with. Which just goes to show how important it is for me to remove this distraction.  I don't know how much time I spend a week on facebook but I know it's enough that I'd be embarrassed to actually figure it out. To be clear I am not giving up on other forms of social media, at least not yet. Nothing else even comes close to being habitual at this time.

I'm still working on my goals and specifics for the year, but I will be documenting some of the smaller things that I begin doing to fill up all this free time I am going to have now. Maybe I'll start to see some patterns of what I am gravitating to and enjoying.  

Just to give you an idea of where I am so far on the goals; I do know that I want to begin some sort of regimented exercise program and I need to work on some sort of spending plan. Some of the things I want to do this year are going to require money and good health. Seems like the start of this is more taking things away then adding experiences, but it's all part of the story.

If you have had any positive results with an exercise program or have any budgeting tips leave them in the comments. I would love to hear about them!
