You say that you quit in the past and still find yourself in this situation. It's time to quit for good. Delete your account and never look back. Don't worry if your are missing out something, eventually this feeling to check everything will fade. I delieted my facebook and twitter account about 2 months ago. It was taking up too much of my time and I'm glad I did. I still use Google+ but I feel like it doesn't take as much time from me as the other networks, I don't even check it every day.

The ideal for me would be to maintain the accounts, but use them less. I'm worried that being completely without any social networking presence could hurt me down the road with companies being reluctant to hire someone who seems like they might have something to hide. In my opinion, at least, this attitude is ridiculous, but I've already had people look at me strangely about it.
