Hello,

There was an interesting article I read related to “no media” days in Japan. The general idea is that for one day, there’s no TV/radio/internet/computer/etc. Granted, we probably can’t do this at work, but what I’ve done is dedicate Monday and Thursday evening to “no internet nights”. I can still watch TV (but I don’t have cable), use the computer (but no internet), and listen to music (which is an ipod usually). It’s still a bit media intensive to a degree, but I find that if I don’t have the internet, much of the time I can get done with my work faster at night, and then move onto something else - like reading (which I’m a huge fan of ). Again, of course, this doesn’t work at work, and it’s necessary to change these requirements to best fit the person - but overall, I feel it’s had a very positive impact on my life so far.
