How I got BLOCKED FROM FACEBOOK!

Have you ever caught yourself  checking your Facebook every 10 MINUTES?! Or even  constantly  hitting the refresh button to update your news feed? Do you have to have several Facebook breaks during a work day? If you answered yes to any of these questions YOU ARE ADDICTED! It does not even have to be Facebook, it could be TWITTER, TUMLBR, etc. I am not the pot calling the kettle black, I am addicted too.  I lose focus, and can barley get work done. So I turned to KEEPMEOUT.COM. This site works wonders. It literally blocks you from Facebook for how ever long you desire.  I set to be blocked from Facebook every 2 hours. So once I log on, do what I do then leave the site. I cannot get back in until another 2 hours pass. Now like kicking any addiction you have to have will power. There are ways to get around the block with out lifting it. But if you are determined to get work done, and kick this habit of social media you have to be willing to stick with the block for 21 days.

How to:
What you do is fill in the form on the homepage, it'll create a new address, you bookmark that address instead of the normal Facebook domain.  

Everytime you try and access Facebook (using that bookmark) it'll say you've visited the site recently and it has a timer when you can come back.


 Its a win win situation,  you can still have a life and keep your Facebook account active.

I hope this helps
