Unplugging

Dare I say these words... I'm going to unplug this week.

Dare I really DO it is probably the better question. LOL

Actually I'm looking forward to it. I'll be the first to admit I get sucked into my laptop VERY EASILY. I love playing on it. Love being online. Love Facebook and my message boards. Love games. Love blogging and blog surfing. Love email. But I need a break. So I'm going to take this week to unplug. Completely. Like hide my laptop. Will the world stop spinning? Will hell freeze over? Will I survive? LOL

I'll still check my email on my iPhone but even with that I'm going to turn off the email notification. No running to it every time it beeps. I'll check it once in the morning and once in the evening. Doable, right?

I'm already getting the shakes. But I can do this and I really do need this. I need a breather and a break from my addiction. I have some organizing, cleaning, and creating to do. I bet I can get alot done this week without the distraction of my laptop.

So wish me luck. I'm going to need it. ;)

Good luck! I'm eager to know if it works out...if you're able to completely unplug. I would love to give that a try sometime, too. Hope you get LOTS done!!!! Have fun while you're at it!!!

Good luck, Shannon! I've put some time limits on my online time lately but I don't think I could do a whole week! Although, I do that every year when I'm on vacation and it's wonderful! lol

I hope you enjoy unplugging...i have put limits on my online time..i want to enjoy technology..i don't want it to control me!
Once it starts taking up your prayer time...that is called idoltry!
