Inspiration tip: Take a forty-eight-hour computer vacation


By kairoer - Posted on 03 August 2009

No email. No google. No one last peek at that pitch you have to prepare in few days. No iphone, no e-mail on the phone. No facebook, no skype or msn.  

 

This task seems to be very simple and easy to do. But look back in the past. How often do you really take a 48 hour computer vacation? If you are even remotely close to what how i am, you do not know how to live without your computer, do you?

 

I tried this a few weeks ago, and it is extremely hard. It was easier before, when i did not have the iphone that enables me to update twitter, check e-mail and surf facebook wherever i am. Today, the only way for me to pull off the 48 hour computer vacation is to either travel to some place with no coverage, or to leave my precious iphone behind.

 

Are you ready to try?

 

Hi Pia,

I realized how relaxing it was and how much i got done the evenings last august while my computer was taken away from me to repair it after attack by a datavirus. I should have desided to take some vacations from email and internett as you suggest in your blog. I have fortunately decided not to join twitter, facebook or other sites like that - otherwise I think I would have got stuck to my computer...

It is really worth considering how much good has internett and email done to our lives and how much damage it can cause the future brain of mankind especially if most people never even gives these thoughts any attention.

Have a nice day:-)
