How is it possible to spend an entire day doing absolutely nothing? This is time that I could have spent organizing my life, decluttering, doing laundry, making a "to do" list so I can get things done.
But on this amazing Friday -- still in the 90s but with low humidity -- I have accomplished.... well, I got up this morning, had coffee, made a balanced breakfast, watered the plants... and that's it.
I blame it on my Apple Macbook Pro. It won't let me get anything done.
First, I check my mail and then check in with my Facebook family and then one click leads to another and pretty soon I am in Belize and then at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, planning next year's vacations.
I am stepping away from the Mac today, unplugging from all of my devices and living in the real world -- getting my life in order so that I may live. I'm an addict, according to an Internet addiction test, I am too far gone.
On the road to recovery, I vow to spend at least one full day a week off-line, disconnected. Just as soon as I finish blogging about it.
And oh yes, I need a charging station to dock all of my devices. You know, to help get organized.
