Designer News
Where the design community meets.
almost 6 years ago from Eric Karjaluoto, I design things like Emetti, Pixaver, and Campnab—plus client gigs at smashLAB.
Delete the Facebook app and sign out of iOS level Facebook integration, this stops typical daily notifications.
When I got a new phone i set Facebook on my phone to not push notifications and removed it from my initial screen. It's shocking how much those little changes can change behavior. I've gone from checking multiple times a day to checking maybe once every other day.

Have feedback?
I quit a few months ago and couldn't be happier with my decision. Unfortunately, I require Facebook for work. The company I work for pretty much uses Facebook to run the business. We have several apps, developer apps etc.. We also use Messenger for communication. Deleting my account would essentially be career suicide so I had to find other ways to escape.
How did I do it?
Doing the above allows me to keep Facebook to go about my work, keep in touch with clients and colleagues and still have easy access in an emergency. I can still log in at any time and see notifications but are now so rare it barely matters, but still come through for things like event invitations (I recently got invited to a wedding party that I may have missed if I simply deleted my account).
I feel like it's the best of both worlds. I went into a little more detail here
