“But lots of recent research shows that if we can disconnect from social media regularly, we are much happier when we do so.” If you’re ready to kick the habit, check out our guide on how to delete your Facebook account.

One way to break off from Facebook is to do so gradually. Here are some steps you can do incrementally:

• Leave Groups that you do not follow much or which you rarely see because of Facebook’s news filtering.
• Unlike or Unfollow Pages that you do not see often.
• Delete photos or photo albums that are old (you can download the content of entire albums to your computer first, and then delete them). There is no need to continue letting FB share your old content – that’s in FB’s advantage but not yours.
• Turn off Notifications for the people, groups or pages that you are still following. With fewer notifications, you will spend less time on Facebook.

Taking these steps will gradually reduce the time you spend on Facebook. Facebook is designed to “hook” you in and keep you there, with constant notifications and email updates (you can and should turn those off too).
These steps help you to gradually wean yourself away from the addictive qualities of Facebook. Eventually, you might decide to pull the plug and #DeleteFacebook entirely and leave a healthier life!
