How to Get Rid of Facebook Account Completely?

Get Rid of Your Facebook Addiction Today!

Facebook is a definitive service in terms of social media. Facebook has made the world a more connected place, as Mark Zuckerberg has himself always stated.

Facebook is great for connecting with friends and making new connections. However, the downside of such extensive usage of social media is that it becomes time-consuming to shuffle between the real and virtual world. Daily Facebook users, would agree with me on this point. There comes a point when we have to actually log out and focus on the tasks at hand.

But Facebook has made it virtually impossible for the new generation to do so. People deactivate their accounts But come back within a day or so. Some people on the other hand are the ones who realize that being on Facebook is not the only thing that’s important in their lives and choose to remove their accounts permanently.

But Facebook is clever and doesn’t delete all the data at one go. So, we at Inspire2rise have come up with a step-by-step guide for you to learn How to get rid of Facebook completely.

How to get rid of Facebook: How to get over Facebook Addiction.

The first step is for those who just want to decrease the time they spend online on Facebook. Those of us who don’t want complete deletion but want a way to effectively manage their time.

So here’s a step-by-step checklist for you to follow:-

1.) Accept that it’s unhealthy to spend more than 1/4ths of a day on Facebook.

Admitting to yourself that you have a problem is the first step to cure the addiction. Ask yourself the basic question,

“Did my world change by just checking my Facebook notifications, thrice in fifteen minutes? Was it worth my time?” Accepting that you need more control over yourself is the first step.

2.) Mark a time for Facebook usage.

Defining proper intervals of time for which you will be using Facebook will also help you to get rid of the constant pangs you get. This will also help you to understand what exactly you log in to Facebook for, instead of mindless scrolling.

3.) Set objectives for the time spent on Facebook.

If you are an Internet marketer, blogger, or someone whose job is to build connections with people then set proper objectives and goals of what would you like to achieve in the time spent. For example, It could be like an objective of interacting with 10 potential customers per log-in session of 1 hour.

For an average person, it could be like Checking the birthdays of friends or talking to some near and dear friends. Accepting some requests, posting what you want your friend circle to know. And then logging off.

4.) Search for other constructive things to do.

If you are a student, you should focus on improving your skills. Read novels, and journals related to your discipline, etc etc. When you divert your time and attention to some constructive hobbies and things, then you will automatically find the urge to log in constantly fading away.

If you are a blogger or freelancer. Then focus on what you should be doing at that moment, rather than surfing through updates by others.

5.) Leave Facebook and join another service. Or try temporary deactivation.

Well, this one sounds hilarious. But it does work. I deactivated my Facebook account for a month. And then the very next day I felt that I had to check what was going on.

So, instead of going back to Facebook, I made a Twitter account. I wasted an hour or two, and after some time I was so bored that I logged out. And then I actually sat down to study.

Deactivating your account temporarily may also help you increase your focus.

  1. Well, indeed an amazing post!
    Yes, Facebook at times grows into an addiction for many BUT Facebook ain’t got any offense too!!
    Every utility developed bring human life and social interactions at ease, where supports one with its advantages, has some side effects too. It totally depends upon how it is being utilized by the user. What I feel is Facebook (if used in a better way) can ACTUALLY make many doors WIDE OPEN for one to increase one’s social potential, activeness and updates in technology and world with a collaborated connection with one’s personal life as well!!
    All one needs to do is USE Facebook the best way 😉

  3. Nice article. I deactivated at the beginning of the year and noticed how almost nobody bothers keeping in touch. Eventually I just decided I knew who my real friends were. I’m more than happy to see all the other “FB people” once or twice a year, say hi to them and leave it at that. Opted for permanent deletion and have not looked back at all.

    Since quitting FB I have started reading again, writing my own blog and doing some book reviews. I suffer from far less anxiety and depression too.

    That’s just me. FB may work for some people. It however upsets me that so many people are simply letting FB monopolize both the internet and communication itself.

    • Sean, I am glad it worked out for you. Due to professional reasons I can’t completely quit Facebook. And I hate it for this. I hate how much essential it has become to use such a service which is consuming our lives!
