Advice for someone going offline as a New Years resolution?

26. That makes me happy.

A real (I'm guessing), straightforward response.

Thanks.

P.S.
I agree, totally.
It's not information, it's information about what?

What good is all the information about the Arab Spring if you're developing cardio-vascular disease and aren't stopping it? Or significant parts of your brain are shrinking, and you just don't care?

All things in perspective. The Arab Spring is important. but, to me, my immediate surroundings, starting with my own body, my diet, my posture etc, and my mental reality, should be the first on my agenda to understand and be aware of.

And they're not.
Staring into a screen allows me to forget my body and surroundings.

So, I need to step away and regain control over my use.
I need to prove I can go 1 month. Or even 1 week. With no computer use.

In the end, I want to be able to just write a list, like I used to do, and just get important information online from the library. I can't be trusted to lap at the spigot of global data and not be stupid with it and spend 10+ hours a day online. I've tried the balance, it just isn't working for me and life is passing me by.

So, better to do away with it all together.
I'll take knowledge of self and stilling the monkey mind over endless information about the other side of the Earth. To each their own. We need different kinds of people to be doing different things.

That was a long 'PS' huh? lol.

Thanks for responding honestly.
And calmly. I appreciate that.

I'm off.
My offline experience begins............................now.
