10 Day Week

I recently read about a guy that took a week off of electronics as much as he could (he worked with a computer so he still had to check email occationally and such but he did the best he could). I've been thinking that this might be a good experiment for myself to conduct. I am a fairly computer savy guy and I spend a lot of time look at screens. One of the things I've been trying to do is figure out what I'd do with my time if I were to take away my computer time. That there was the sign I needed to do this. I shouldn't define my life by how I spent it online. So come this summer I am going to take 10 days off of all screen time, and that includes email and such. My biggest hassle will be my phone, which also gets internet so I am just going to have to pretend it doesn't if I need to make a call. Hopefully I won't need to use it too much. The reason I have chosen summer to accomplish this task and not now is of course my finals. I am going to need to be on my computer and I am going to need to be on it often (I have quite a few papers to write). As well I am going to have summer school so I am going to wait till after that is finished to take my break from screen time. I'll update again about this when I am closer to the date, but I think this is going to be a fun project. It will be interesting to see what I learn from the experience and I'll try and keep notes.
