So I made the commitment last Sunday to unplug myself. It went very well. At first a bit nerve-wracking but once I got over my initial impulses to see “what was going on” online….I actually started enjoying it.
What did I do with all my new-found time?
- I walked around the city a lot
- I ate lunch at one of my favorite places, Pan Africa, an Ethiopian place near Pike Place Market.
- I bought the Sunday newspaper (something I rarely do) and read it at a coffee shop.
- I cleaned my apartment (a little).
- I did laundry.
- I went grocery shopping.
- I went to Yoga class.
- I read a little.
- I just sat around staring out the window.
- I made a bunch of phone calls to friends and family.
- I went to bed a lot earlier than normal (like 9:30pm).
It was great. Gonna do it again this Sunday.

Hey Ravi,
I just found your blog through the 4-hour work week blog’s Geek to Freak article. You have some good stuff here. Look forward to keeping up with it.
