How to avoid, The new Facebook groups Notifications, and win your life back. By @Butterknife_sm

If you have already been added to one of the new Facebook Groups, you probably lost your mind already or in the process of loosing it.

No, it has nothing to do with the groups themselves, but with the sadistic notifications setting. Another great gift from the "Man of the year".

For those of you who haven't experience it yet you should also read this part, it will save you the mental damage later.

OK, you joined the group. From this moment onward you will get an Email;  for every like, comment, post or a fly that passed by the group. Your inbox will be full in less than 2 hours and you will find yourself wasting your time cleaning you mail box. You may stop, it's never going to end...while you deleting old mails,  new mails are coming in.

Wait that was only the first fun part; now it's the notification within Facebook.Yes the one that are jumping while you are browsing. From now on, the average will be 200 an hour.

Everything that is being sent to your email already, plus every action of every member, his friends, family members and kindergarten classmates will be notified to you.

You can leave the group, but you actually want to be part of it. You may work for Facebook groups, in cleaning notifications, but you need to work for a living....

So here is what you do, go to the group. On the top right had side there is a link "Edit Setting" click it and chance everything to NO. or leave only certain notifications. in 2-3 minutes you will still be a member of the group, but will have your Facebook (=life) back ;)

Good Luck
