Alright – so I don’t have any idea how to knit quite yet, but my roommate just got me some yarn and a set of knitting needles.
I’ll probably experiment with it a bit next week, and I’m excited to start working on this goal

How I did it: I just . . . stopped going. I turned off all of my email notifications and deleted the facebook app on my blackberry. After the first week you really don't start to miss it anymore. The only downside was the lack of communication with my friends, but you can find ways around that. The amount of free time that I gained definitely made the experience worth it. Read how I did it…

I’m really just adding this to my goal list, so I can watch Avatar and feel like I’m being productive, somehow.
