I've decided that one day a week, I will not use the computer. This is very difficult for me, since I remember the last time and all of the withdrawal symptoms that accompanied it. But it's something I need to do to not only keep up with the housework but to get ahead on some other house projects.
I had planned this for a few weeks now, and had it narrowed down to two days: Monday - which is after the day I don't do much work - which means it really piles up and on Monday, I have to run like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to catch up and Friday - The day BEFORE the weekend that if I was able to get things done, I would have LESS to do on Monday.
I picked Monday, since it seems to make more sense - and it won the coin toss. So tomorrow - and every Monday from now on, I won't be online. The only two electronics I will be using is an MP3 player and my Camera. Listening to an audio book will make the housework more enjoyable. As for the camera - well, if you have kids, you know why I will be making the camera an exception.
I've also decided to make a video journal. How much will make it on YouTube, I don't know, but right now - I will take many short videos during the day. We do have a terabyte drive that I will take advantage of and everyday will have it's own folder. I'm not really good at writing things down. I don't know how many journals that I have only half full - with many pages still waiting to be written on. Maybe some day I'll fill them.
See you Tuesday.
