Addiction distraction challenge
03-07-2013 4:24 PM
How many people here are addicted to the internet and entertainment?
I use to remember back in the dial-up days how I had to plan my time online, my time was productive online.
These days on my days of I can easily waste two, three hours online, I don't want to do this anymore.
I also use to only listen to radio music back in those days, sense of appreciation of hearing something for the first time, and never knowing of when hearing it again will happen.
To get back to a more time rich state of mind, I've set a challenge for myself to only spend 10minutes online just to check important emails and information. To make sure of this I will use my phone which has a limited usage, all my computers will remain off. This means, no entertainment as well, no music, no vids, no games, nothing. I also will not be listening to music on my way to work.
Instead the only entertainment I will have is a empty journal to write down all my thoughts and ideas.
My goal is to this for two weeks and see how different I feel.
I hope in the end of this experiment, my time is more productive, also have a finer appreciation of sensory indulgence. I also hope that my not constantly indulging my senses to a constat stream of different sensations I will have a better appreciation of enjoying the moment to it's fullest.
Anyone up to try this?

lol complete fail, lasted for a few days, time to take drastic actions, start with not renewing internet contract in a few weeks time. Istead get a 3g usb stick for internet access, more expensive but will be forced to use it more wisely.
DAMN YOU TECHNOLOGY
Trying to stop listening to music while on the way to work, I found that if stopped my negative self talk would start up, tried reading, but reading while moving makes me feel sick after a few minutes.
I know, I'll draw instead, would it be considered freaky if I drew fellow passengers(ok women)?
