Day 9 – Unplugged

January 22, 2009

Today was a bit rough around the edges…probably the most I have ‘pushed’ my limits thus far. It also didn’t help that I seemed far more emotional and vulnerable then I usually am. I had less clarity and more confusion, do not think this was a challenge related issue, more just a personal [...]

Day 8 – Unplugged

January 21, 2009

Back to work on day 8, was reluctant to stay on ‘work’ tasks, so had more pressure to try and get on the internet and find distractions, but I still managed to avoid the net and email. Did resort to a bit of verbal distractions, but wasn’t a huge issue. Things are getting [...]

Day 7 – Unplugged

January 20, 2009

Wow, a week in, and still on track. This has to be a record for me :)
No issues today, maybe caught some inadvertent TV while doing some tasks in the kitchen, as I am not restricting my husband’s TV watching during one of my ‘trials’. But outside of that, I had [...]

Day 5-6 – Unplugged

January 19, 2009

Not a bad weekend, Saturday I did several projects around the house, did some cooking and stock making, and in general had a very productive day. Sunday we went riding on the track (dirt bikes), most of the day. I had set aside that I could watch a couple hours [...]

Day 4 – Unplugged

January 17, 2009

Today was probably the hardest day to get through. I didn’t slip up, but I probably ‘pushed’ the limits a little bit. Its a friday at work, bit more relaxed, people talking about movies, or events. I did have a lot more side tracks and distractions through the day, [...]

Day 3 – Unplugged

January 16, 2009

The challenges continue
So, still holding to my guns, and getting more ammo as I go. No mistakes, no slip ups. Although I played wii for a bit at a friends, and while that didn’t break any of the rules I had established (since my primary goal is to clear my head and [...]

Day 2 – Unplugged

January 15, 2009

Day 2, complete. Phew. Bit harder then day one, but seriously, it wasn’t that bad.
Work went well all day, had the ‘urge’ to get online quite a bit, but I would remind myself of the directives, and move on back to work. Got quite a bit done. Have to make [...]

Day 1 End – Unplugged

January 14, 2009

So first day unplugged, not too bad.
Finished up most of any updates, emails, ect first thing yesterday morning, so spent the majority of the day holding up my end of the bargain. Found myself thinking about getting online to check this, kill some time over this, just a quick peek at that….but I [...]

Day 1 – Unplugged

January 13, 2009

So my plan is to unplug a bit from the constant ‘information’ flow that comes at you in today’s world. No internet surfing, news updates, constant messaging and emails from friends and family, updates from forums, TV, ect. I have tried to cut back on things in the past, but sort of like [...]
