I've cut down, and only give Facebook a cursory check once a week. It's very nice to not constantly have it on my mind, and I don't seem to be missing much.
Yes, absolutely. The urge to juuuuust give Facebook a quick check is there, it's muscle memory almost, and it takes a conscious effort to break it.
I uninstalled the FB app ages ago, and I've removed all shortcuts to FB from the start pages in my browsers. That helps a bit. I've also set Cookie Autodelete to not allow any FB cookies, so I have to log in every time, presenting a further small hurdle I have to cross. It's a very small thing, but it makes me more aware of what I'm doing, so I can stop myself.

Did you find you had some hard habits to break? Or was it a smooth transition for you?
