So tonight I was thinking about how many hours I've logged online just in the last week. The thought really made me stop in my tracks. What am I missing out on by staring at a screen for hours on end? How much more could I be getting out of life if shut down a couple hours early every night? A lot. Some people have 6:00 shut downs, and props to them because that's just a little too early for me especially during the school year. By the time I get home it's time to fix dinner, eat dinner, clean up, etc. 7:00pm is a good goal for me because that would give me about 30-40 minutes to be online, which really, is plenty. I'd much rather spend the last two waking hours of the day playing games with my husband, enjoying the great outdoors, catching up on some reading or just hanging out with friends.
I researched this issue and there is an overwhelming number of people who are doing their own shut downs at various times throughout the day. Some shut down in the afternoon, only in the morning or after a certain time like I intend to do.
Are you finding this an issue in your life?
I'm commiting to this starting Monday. Keep me accountable please!! If you see me hanging out online after 7:00 give me a virtual kick in the caboose! Seriously. Are you with me?
Shut it down, live your life.
I am with you, lady. I told myself I'd be better about it, but I know I'm not being better about it. Oof.
