For most of us, Facebook has become a daily habit. As of February 2011, Facebook has over 600 million users and recent statistics show that 48% of 18-to 34-year-olds check Facebook right when theywake up.
Here are six ways to beat that Facebook addiction:
#1: Quit Playing Games
That 19% of gamers say they're addicted to the social games, and 69% of these gamers are women.
If you wantto beat your Facebook addiction, begin by closing your gamer accounts.
#2: Start Tracking Your Time
Watch the clock when you log in and out of Facebook and keep track of your time for a week.
Ifyou have gotten into the habit of keeping Facebook running while doing other work online, stop! Only open up Facebook when you are actually on Facebook.
#3: Just Say No to Email NotificationsTurn off the email notification feature during your Facebook rehab days so that you can have more control over your addiction.
#4: Make a List of Alternative Activities

For example, you could give yourself 20 or 30 minutes oftotal Facebook time each day. Maybe you like to begin your morning with a Facebook fix, or end your day with some online social networking. Whatever the case may be, select a time slot just forFacebook and stick with the plan day in, day out.
