- Change your password to something random, store it in 1Password
- Don't remember password in your web browser
- Log out, only login if you really need to
- Delete mobile app. Being bored on the bus is a great excuse to check Facebook. Also, you won't have to face their idiotic ads
- Keep the Messenger app, enable push notifications. "I have to read my messages" won't be an excuse anymore, because you would have gotten a notification.
- Email people at [email protected]. You will get the response back in your inbox. (If you're using Mountain Lion, you can set up contacts sync and have Facebook emails of your friends in your Contacts.)
- If you need IM, use Jabber protocol. Log in with [email protected]
- If you're a member of some important groups, create an account with no friends with only purpose to be member of those groups
I have this acquaintance that only uses Facebook for messaging. She never posts anything, never comments, she is just somehow resilient to its charm. I admire her endlessly for that, and I wish I had never succumbed to that notifications icon.
Good luck.
