It took a surprising amount of mental effort this morning to
make myself do the dishes before I turned on my computer and logged onto
Facebook. It gives credence to all those who say the internet in general
and sites like Facebook in particular are changing our brains, addicting us
with their dopamine triggers. That's one enslavement I'd like to cast off, but do I want to swear off of social media entirely? At this time, the answer is no, though it may change in the future.
For now, I’m thinking of imposing on myself a housework-for-Facebook rule. If it works, I’ll have a really clean house and at least the illusion of self-control. If not, I will have to take more drastic action.
