How to Turn Off the News Feed Portion of Facebook

Have you ever found yourself scrolling endlessly on your Facebook newsfeed? True enough, it is a great tool to grow your business, but at the same time, it can be distracting! Here are my tips on how to remove Facebook news feed and stay productive.

If you have any other social media (specifically Facebook) tips you want to share, we'd love to hear it. Drop a comment below!

Why time management is important

We're going to be covering both the mobile and the desktop. And first off, I'm going to tell you why it's so important to make sure that you are productive online.

Now, we all know that it's important to manage our time. We only get a certain number of minutes and seconds in a day. Choosing how you spend your time is going to be the thing that's going to help you be more productive. Also, it will help you get better results in what you do. Now, today's reality of business is that it's important to have a social presence.

It's hard to just completely switch off and say, "No, I'm not going to participate in social media at all". Because that just doesn't really work. You do need to have some kind of connection. But if we have stronger boundaries with work, then we're going to actually have a better time. And we're going to have more chances of actually staying productive and being productive.

How to remove Facebook news feed to increase productivity

Remove Facebook news feed on your browser

So I want to tell you how to actually disable the Facebook newsfeed. It really takes away the part of Facebook that keeps bringing you back.

I find myself feeling a little bit anxious, uncomfortable, down, or scared when I first unblocked it. And so I'm really happy to just completely go cold Turkey and live without a newsfeed. I'm going to share how you can do that as well. So first up on your computer, if you're using Google Chrome, there is an amazing plugin called Kill the Facebook Newsfeed.

Now, once you install that plugin, it removes the newsfeed from your Facebook. Now in my testing, this only works with the old version of Facebook, so if you've got like a new updated layout, it may not work for you.

But what that does is it removes the newsfeed scrollable feature, but still lets you use all the other features of Facebook. So you can still use the messages, you can still work with anything else that you need to do on Facebook, as long as you're not looking for the newsfeed, because it's completely gone.

Remove Facebook news feed on your phone

Next up. It's time to get rid of it on our mobile. And what we're going to do there is, unfortunately, because there's no timeline feature, completely delete the app. And yes, you might be wondering, "Well, is it a good idea to delete the app? I'm going to miss out on updates." Well, if you've got the Messenger app and you've got the Pages Manager app to manage your business page, you shouldn't really need to spend too much time on Facebook on your phone.

And what I found myself because I've got a bit of an addictive personality is from time to time, I would actually go to Facebook in the browser on my phone, after I deleted the app just to check something. And then I ended up getting stuck in the newsfeed as well. So I'd recommend if you're using an Android phone or an iOS device, you actually block the Facebook website using the parental controls or one of the blocker apps and actually completely block yourself from being able to access it at all on your mobile phone.

And this is going to help you as a business owner, to spend more time either on your business or with your family or doing the things that you love, and keep you away from the evils of Facebook addiction.
