I'm thinking of getting long stretches of time (days?) where I forcibly remove myself from the web. I need to use the internet for work, so it will be goddamn difficult, but I really want to do that. No websites, no social media, no communicators, no nothing. Not even email. I haven't had a day like that in years, as even during "offline" periods I would use email, but those were some pretty damn fine days. Not having a usable smartphone was one of the best decisions of my life, but maybe I can go another step. The hardest part is that I build all my non-family interpersonal networks on the web; I'd be lonely. Nothing good comes from being online these days.
