Like most of us I really love my computer and probably spend too much time on it if I am being honest. I never used to spend a lot of time on my computer I think once I discovered blogging and then when internet access started to become more affordable then being on the computer weaved it's way into my everyday life. I don't like the amount of time I spend on the computer and would rather spend more time with my family and being creative and giving my mind some space. So I have recently, say in the last few months, implemented a computer free day every week. At first I was just reserving it to instagram but the last couple of weeks I have also added the computer to it. I still find it a little hard, it's like an itching feeling that you really want to check your phone to see what exciting things have been happening but you can't. When I do log on Monday morning quite often there isn't anything in particular that has happened that I have missed out on which I knew would happen. Isn't it interesting these feelings that you have, that technology is designed to make you want to keep looking for the next thing to interest you. I think in time I will try and reduce the amount of time each day I spend on my computer and still keep the Sunday free, it seems to be working for me. Do you have a computer/technology free day each week?
No I don't have a techy free day but I really should. I work on computers five days a week so will try and make a saturday or sunday a free zone.
