spend less time on the computer

Apart from work, there was no that much computer time. I feel I’m finally getting my life in order, and it feels great not to waste it in front of the computer. Shame it took me so many years to realize the time wasting, but better late than never :)

At the moment I’m unable to keep with my plan to remain computer free 2x a week, sometimes I have to work. But this past weekend I had a totally computer free Sunday and it was great.

I’m limiting the amount of free time I spend in front of the computer by doing other stuff such as cycling, swimming, gardening and reading books and magazines (not websites!).

I already work in front of a computer, study C# in front of the computer… and I feel I’m spending too much of my precious freetime in front of the computer playing geography games, watching youtube, reading, 43T and email. I want to have 2 computer-free days in my life a week (Sunday and Monday). All my music is stored on this computer (to save space on my shelves since I live in a miniscule place), so I could go without music or perhaps buy a CD-player. During workdays, I’m planning to only turn the computer on after 9:30am and always turn it off at 5pm. Unless there is urgent work to be done, of course. I’m writing this entry at 7:30 on a Sunday morning… how sad! So I’ll turn this off now and turn it on again Tuesday after 9:30.
