Facebook Decluttering


The new year means a new beginning.  And one way to begin anew is to declutter your space and make way for new opportunities, things, items, anything.

I decided to declutter my facebook feeds today .  On facebook, we get daily updates on what's happening with our 'friends'.  Whoever you have friended, you will automatically get updated about their happenings.

When I first started on facebook (several years ago), I thought it was a great idea.  I can keep tabs on what's going on with everyone.  But overtime, especially recently, I just grew out of it.  Too much information, information about people that I don't really know, don't really care about.......just too much unnecessary information that I would rather not see.

So, I took it upon myself today to unsubscribe from people who I wasn't particularly interested about, i.e. friends of friends, acquaintances.....generally, people who I wouldn't really see (either in person or online) if it wasn't for facebook.

I think this is a positive step for my mental well being.  I feel like it will declutter my mind, keep me focused, and not be affected by something that somebody quite irrelevant wrote (i.e. 9 dishes).

What do you think?  Do you declutter your social network pages?  Does it help you refocus in the long run?
