Lisa: unplugged
For Lent I said I would be giving up my Social Networking. Blogging & emails are okay. I'm not a big emailer anyway. Well, today & tomorrow is National Unplugging Day. It was started last year by sabbathmanifesto.org. I saw a ABC7 News clip about the site on Facebook. I thought I would give it a try. What i really like about Sabbath Manifesto is that it's not just once a year, they want you to unplug once a week. They even have Ten Principles which you can read on their site and even download. I downloaded the phone app and I have not received my shut down message yet. I believe it's supposed to be at sundown. I even set up the app to text me every Friday to remind me to unplug. We'll see what happens. I'll be doing my Spring Cleaning during my unplugged session.

This sounds like a great idea. I actually leave my computer on 24 hours a day even if I'm not on it. I think I spend entirely too much of my "free" time on Facebook, but I spend all day with kids and need to socialize with adults. It doesn't help that we only have one vehicle and I feel very isolated when it's not my turn to drive it. However, I think that "unplugging" once a week would be a good thing. Wonder if I could get my husband to do that, too. It would make it so much easier for me. =)
ReplyDeleteI think it would make for great "family time" and should be done at least once a week even if its only for a few hours. I know many people need computers & phones to work these days, especially when you own your own business.
