How I did it: I went last year with some friends. It started at midnight, but we got there way too early and had to stand outside in the cold. By the time they let everyone in, everyone was hungry, and they sold out of food. I managed to escape the embarrassment of being pulled on stage, but I was so hungry and tired I started to fall asleep a few times. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I've always played video games. I started playing when I was really, really young. It wasn't a problem that I spent hours and hours playing, because, after all, I was a kid. Kids are supposed to play, right? Also, I lived in an extended family that argued a lot, so nobody really blamed me for wanting to avoid everyone and escape into my own mind and virtual worlds. It was really an addiction, a way to zone out. Video games never made me h… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I gave my personal TV away to my sister. I found places online to stream or buy/download the shows I can't live without - watching them without commercials wastes less of my time! The big TV in the living room is not mine, so I can't get rid of it, but that doesn't mean I have to watch it. When I move to my own apartment in a few months, I won't bring a TV along with me. Read how I did it…
I figured walking 1.5 miles in flip flops today wouldn’t be a problem, but by the end of my short walk, I had a huge blister forming. Bad idea! But I felt better for the walk, so no excuses tomorrow.
I’m not really sure if this is something I can really “fix”...It seems like something you were either born with or weren’t born with. I definitely wasn’t born with a sense of direction.
I have a couple ideas to help me:
*I’m going to buy a compass that’s either on a necklace or in a ring/bracelet so I be more aware of directions.
*Since I’ll be moving in a few months, I bought a map of the city I’m moving to. I put little flags on the map in places where I might want to visit. Then I use mapquest to see how they would suggest I get from point A to point B. THEN, since I won’t have a car, I see how I would get from one place to another using public transportation.
That all might seem like overkill, but I’m tired of being lost all the time!
There ARE many positive things I do with my computer: write, design my website, read the news, shop for things I need, get directions, find jobs and places to live, get plane tickets, etc. It would be unrealistic for me to say I don’t want to use the computer at all. It gives me not only great information but independence as well.
However, if you have ANY time-wasting tendencies, long exposure to computers seems to draw them out and make them multiply. Which is exactly what’s happened to me.
Reforming my computer habits is going to require some rigidity, because they are habits I’ve developed over a lifetime of computer usage. Wish me luck!
