"Hello, my name is Brian.. and I am addicted to Facebook!" At least that's the way I feel. It used to be all about friends and family having fun. Now, it seems like slowing down on the highway to look at a car crash! There is so much pain, grief, and divisiveness. Not everybody is like this, but the distractions are growing.

Here is some of the stuff to avoid...

* Turn Off Email and Group Notifications

* Avoid Quizzes, Politics, and Trolls

In this episode, I will offer some tips and trick to make Facebook less of a distraction and more of the entertainment site it was intended to be.
