For a week, I was out of the country and had no Internet or phone access. Despite early separation anxiety, I truly learned to enjoy the feeling. As I sat on the plane... I dreaded the avalanche of email I would return to. Sure enough, my voicemail box was full and it took me about 3 hours just to sort through my emails for just one week.
After reading about information overload for quite a while, I decided to curtail my email usage as much as possible. It took me a while to wean myself away from tv and caffeine... and I haven't been successful staying away from those, so I'm dubious about my efforts to be strong when it comes to email. So far, I've restricted myself to checking email only twice a day and it's been nice. At the very least, it should help me organize my time better...
Wish me luck!

It’s so sad, but the idea of no internet or cell phone reception for a week really freaks me out. Don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE to escape the reach of my many email inboxes and 2 cell phones (it almost became 3 today) but I always think “What if…?” What if it was important? What if ____ was trying to reach me? What if I miss out on ____ ?
I remember there was a weekend camping trip last year aimed at getting away from technology. It was such a great idea and I signed up and was all excited to go but then I started to think of all the different “What ifs” and backed out last minute.
