Re: How do I fully detach myself from social media sites so I can revise effectivelyAHAHA Omg, I deleted BBM but I need facebook and twitter to contact people and know about opportunities !(Original post by xoxAngel_Kxox)
I wish I knew.
I deactivated my Facebook for a grand total of ten hours.
And just spent the time using Twitter instead.
I will ALWAYS find SOME WAY of procrastinating! -

If you google 'block distracting site' there's a bunch of add-ons and programs that can block stuff. Self-control didn't really work for me, but 'StayFocusd' is a nice little Chrome add-on that does the trick. There's a similar one for Firefox as well. -

Re: How do I fully detach myself from social media sites so I can revise effectivelyBecome addicted to cigarettes, and every time you want to go on a social networking site, have a cigarette, then update your status.

Re: How do I fully detach myself from social media sites so I can revise effectivelyDon't bother deactivating because it's way too easy to re-activate. Get a trusted friend to change your passwords for you and tell them not to you let you until after the exams.(Original post by @chante_Jos)

make sure it is a TRUSTED friend, my best friend managed to convince everyone I was pregnant by posting an ultrascan picture on my facebook and twitter, I had so many confused phonecalls during my revision sessons
