get off the computer

I made a concerted effort to stay off the computer this weekend. I have almost finished two books in three days. There is something more inspiring about escaping with a book. I can actually use my imagination, going places that just aren’t accessed via website. Although there’s tons of information around here, it just doesn’t prompt me to be creative. Too much time on the net leaves me feeling brain dead.

If I stopped taking my laptop to bed with me, I’d be asleep by now. I’m not going to let it in the bed anymore. The computer must now sleep on the floor and I cannot re-open it for any reason once I get in bed. I feel guilty already. Maybe just one more night. But then that’s it. I mean it this time.
