So last week I proposed a self imposed challenge. For one week I was going to log into Facebook and my email account only 2 times a day. I logged in once in the morning and once in the evening. On several days, extenuating circumstances made it necessary to login a few more times but for the most part, I kept the rule. The results? Fascinating. The first several days were torment. I liken it to going "breadless" for 2 weeks while starting the South Beach diet. Just like the South Beach diet, the pain meant a definite gain. By day 3 I was feeling peaceful, less agitated and more in control of my hectic electronic life.
It's the end of the challenge and I must admit, this exercise has proved that technology has the benefits of being a glass half full or a glass half empty. I no longer frantically login to see "what's going on" and have more self control over my thoughts and actions. Try the challenge. You might feel as free as I do!
