Therefore, I shall go on a hiatus from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Netflix, and Buzzfeed for a 72 hour period. I will log out of all these platforms and block the websites on my browser, just in case I try to cheat.
It will be very interesting to see how I decide to spend my time when I would usually be on these sites. I hope I will become more productive and efficient in getting things done for school and work, instead of procrastinating, which is one of my biggest weaknesses. We'll see how I survive this hiatus.

- Although most of my time online is used for school and productive activities, a lot of it is also used to procrastinate and do nothing very worthwhile, and this is when I'm most distracted and am wasting precious time
