Thinking of going on an internet fast at home. Has anyone done it before? I want to turn off the internet for a few days (or a week?) and see what life is like without a constant connection (and the constant pull) to the interwebs.
Does the idea scare you? Excite you? Fill you with dread? A feeling of doom mixed with horror?
Yes, ME TOO.
But I really want to try this. I feel like there might be an adventure hidden in there somewhere.
Do it, just make sure you have something to do instead. I always feel better after a vacation, which usually includes being offline most of the time..
That’s nice! I’m always online, even when I’m on vacation.
Yeah, definitely do it. I’m about to start Deep Work by Cal Newport. And I need a better routine, to manage the study fatigue that’s setting in after months of remote work/training.
Keep notes about it, for sure. (Pencil and paper, obvs. 🙂 )
Yeah I think I will, and I will definitely pull out my pen and paper and journal about it!
Anyway I read on your blog about your anxiety. This guy really helped me a lot — http://anxietynomore.uk/
I hope it helps you too!
Hi Rebecca,
I go fully offline when on holiday or at festivals and even take a dumb phone instead of a connected smartphone. It’s amazing to do, so I’d say definitely give it a go.
Hey Alastair,
Thanks for sharing. With all the encouragements I think I need to do something next week, haha.
