Well, I didn’t go online or watch telly at all yesterday. I actually felt quite good, not bored and lonely like I expected. I definitely felt a lot more focused, not at all like the forgetful bumbler I usually am. It was a bit weird eating meals on my own, in silence, but I actually found that they sort of tasted better. It’s actually really strange when you think about it, having this largely sedentary existence sitting in front of a box for hours every day. Hmmm.

So what did I learn? I guess that I don’t need to jump on the computer or sit in front of the TV every chance I get. That switching on the computer being the first thing I do in the morning and my hand instinctually reaching for the remote as soon as I sit down are actually quite worrying things. So I just need to act on that knowledge now. That’s the hard part.
