There are those moments in your life when Facebook just doesn't work out at all. Not that Facebooking is a lot of work, but it provides a constant distraction and also costs a lot of time unnoticed. But what if you don't have the discipline to avoid Facebook when you need to?
It sounds so simple, pretending Facebook doesn't exist for a few days. But with Facebook on the computer, Facebook on our smartphones and soon Facebook on our smartwatches, it's getting harder and harder to resist the temptation.
Fortunately, there's a way to make sure you don't have to resist temptation simply because it temporarily doesn't exist. You can temporarily disable Facebook! Which means there is no activity at all, no one can tag you, message you, and so on. Rigorous, but sometimes it's just necessary.
Facebook can sometimes be quite a distraction.
You would think that Facebook would make it very difficult for you when you want to disable your account (temporarily or not), but nothing could be further from the truth. Log in to your account and click the icon Institutions top right and then Institutions in the menu that expands. Then click Security under the General heading.
At the bottom you now see the option Deactivate your account. When you click on this, your account is not immediately deactivated. Facebook is still trying to persuade you to keep your account active, but don't worry, deactivating isn't permanent. Once you decide you want to allow Facebook back into your life, you can simply reactivate your account, you won't lose any data in the meantime.
Deactivating your account is easy.
