Initially when I resolved to do a day without technology; no TV, e-mail, twitter, internet and cell phone, I thought I would go mad before the day was over. Why this insane quest you ask? Well recently I started to feel that I squandered too much of my time on these modern devices (distractions) and not enough time being productive or appreciating the simple pleasures. While cutting back on my tech use is the most practical long term solution, I wanted to give my routine a jolt by completely giving it up for a day. So yesterday was my first "Tech-Free Tuesday".
