I Really Need to Do This!

Okay, I'm keeping it real here. I've got a problem; I really do. I am on the computer - A LOT! I don't even consider myself a tech person, but with two side businesses and emails (business and personal), I am on the computer more often than I'd like. And don't even mention the wonderful(?) world of Facebook! Sometimes I start getting anxious as I'm on the computer because I know it's time to get off, but there's always one more person to respond to, one more order to enter, one more client to contact, one more person to reach out to through an email. And I thought technology was supposed to make our lives easier and more relaxing! Well, if that's the case, then I've missed the boat!

So, when I read Kimba's challenge, I decided I should jump on board. It seems that I'm not the only person with this problem, and I think Kimba's idea is a great start for putting all things technology in their proper place. I should control the technology in my life, not having technology take control of me. Right? Right!

So, you can see the challenge for yourself by clicking the button below. Let me know if you would like to join us. Perhaps I need to declare a one day sabbath from technology each week. Lord knows that would give me some rest! :-)

Or try using an I-phone... I "hear" they work great. (synical laugh)...

OK, I will not log on to Facebook(!) or play computer games on Friday. I can't promise no computer at all (email during the day is how John and I can "talk" and I need to check in with Rachel Anne at Home Sanctuary, or I won't know what the Small Thing is for the day.) But other than those two reasons, I will "unplug" for the day. Might get more yard work done that way!

Aaaahhh......accountability; I love it! I give you all permission to call me to make sure I'm not on the computer. Kelly, I give you permission to check on your "Small Thing" and to check your email (but maybe just once or twice, okay?!) :-)

I think I can handle that. Of course, I'm working at school in the morning, and I may be helping a bunch of second graders work on typing their stories. I can live vicariously through them!
