This browser extension changed my life for the better:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kill-fb-feed/

I like Facebook, it serves a lot of good roles in my life (including my job) so I can't just quit and/or block Facebook. But I was spending pointless hours a day reading my news feed, disgusted with my own lack of productivity.

This extension kills the home page feed, but nothing else.

I still have access to messages, profiles, events, invites, etc. I can still find everything I search for if I seek it out, only difference is it's not drip-fed into my eyeballs with an endless scroll.

My productivity (and happiness) immediately took a step up.
