I have been feeling quite chained to my computer lately. It feels like I sit on a chair and stare at a screen for hours. I am constantly dealing with emails, most of which are junk or don't really apply to me. Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Blogger, Facebook, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, Blackboard, school account, work account, fun account, one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish...
I was ready for a computer free day on Wednesday, but since I am still working on an online class, I decided to wait until the weekend. I made it a computer free weekend by not taking my computer with me on my weekend work trip and not using the hotel computer or my coworkers' computers. The only computer I used was for our sales table, and I only used it two brief times because of work responsibilities.
Although Monday's inbox waits, I must say my computer free weekend was a great break. I went outside, enjoyed the warmth of the sun and the new spring flowers. I talked to people face to face and took advantage of utilizing nonverbals again instead of just reading black and white text. Beautiful. I am going to do this again asap.
