Last week I wrote about the perils of being completely plugged in all the time, and how there is a group called 52 Nights Unplugged which everyone should join and add me as a friend on.  Here is my update as to how it is going so far.

I have decided to be unplugged during Tuesday instead of Tuesday evening, but you can choose whatever time works the best for you.  After an invigorating hour of driving wiffle balls around the park and attempting to play Frisbee Golf I enjoyed a relaxing couple hours sitting on my porch with my roommates watching the people pile onto campus for freshman orientation, oh to be young again.  I ‘repluged’ at 9 p.m. because I do have things that need to be done on Tuesday and I am very productive at night.

Sitting at my computer got me to thinking about Erica Douglass’ post about implementing a two hour workday.  Surely if she can compress eight hours worth of work into two I can do the same for five hours worth.  I quickly discovered that I cannot, but to my surprise I did not have any anxiety over this.  The affect of taking a day off of my formerly hepatic schedule has allowed me to remain relaxed, even when my inbox is full and I have four new voice mails. I will check those in the morning.
