Day Three Hundred and Sixty Three: Quitting the Internet

So I’m quitting the internet.
This is Taylor’s fault really. He introduced me to all my favorite sites. Especially that pesky Reddit. Nothing against Reddit or anything, I’ve just noticed a distinct decline in my writing since I became aware of its existence. I’m also addicted to reading the news and checking every five minutes to see if it’s changed. It hasn’t. And celebrity gossip an sites that bitch about terrible customers.
So, I’m trying to be more productive. Especially now that I’m really investing myself in writing. Also I have a new job that requires me to be up at like five in the morning every day, so avoiding the internet laden trap of emotions, I will probably sleep better, work better and do better.


Like everything I’ll have my cheat days. Also facebook, which I only spend about ten seconds on a day (I never was one of those people who could spend hours on facebook) and I use to talk to family. So, yeah. I think I’m going to do a new blog, but it’s just for me and to rant about stuff, so don’t expect to read it unless you stumble across it randomly. But for the most part, I want to quit the internet for a while, just to take a breather and cut back on how much I use.
If anything really big happens in internet world, please let me know. I’m sure I’ll pause my life long enough to blink at you in confusion before I return to my books.

Challenge to my Readers:

Even good things that you love can get in the way. Take a step back and see what you can cut out and what you can add in. You never know where you might be wasting time.
