I don’t know if I’m a true blue Facebook addict… but I do find myself scrolling and scrolling. While at times there is something funny that I’m glad I saw, most of the time it makes me feel empty. I used to spend my spare minutes thoughtfully writing in my journal or drawing… but now I just have wasted time. It is sad! I’m going to try these suggestions and I must admit that the suggestion about detailing your car is true. I just did this yesterday and it feels so good!

The movie totally doesn’t count!!! We do jigsaw puzzles with a glass of wine. Great time!

In reply to Laura. Yay! That's so awesome! I got a pedi with my BFF, read a million magazines, went to the library, hung out with my dude, made 'adventure fruit salad' (from all the unidentified fruit from the Asian grocery store) and went to a dinner party!

I did this because I read about it on here and it happened to be on my day off- I took a two-hour walk, went thrifting, and read the entire book Wild by Cheryl Strayed. thanks for the inspiration!

These are great ideas! I'm trying hard to get my internet use down to an hour a day as a spring/Lent project, and it is SUPER hard. But I love the idea of doing a whole day. I also had no idea this was a thing. 🙂

I've been needing a break from technology for a while now. I got introduced to Lumia last in December of last year, and I have been hooked; taking pictures, sending emails, writing my short stories, Whatsapp, and recently, Instagram!
Yesterday, I took a break from my phone (except for when I was taking pictures). I cooked an old favourite meal - spicy rice (we call it pilau) and zucchini and tomato stew.
I was at the top of my office building after a great concert with a bunch of campus friends and we're meeting up for a spoken word performance with a few other after-campus friends tomorrow evening and for a poetry/writers' workshop on Sunday.
I already have the bonfire, walk in my newish neighbourhood, quality time in a library and bus roulette on my bucket list. I love hosting and having friends over and visiting friends and staying up all night discussing literature and life.

Thanks for the inspiration!

So glad you announced this day — I'd never have known otherwise! It's going to be such a challenge 🙂

In reply to Kendra. Fun! I'm literally spending about an hour today preparing to do this tomorrow - printing things out, running to the library, and scheduling a haircut!

Glad I read this TODAY so I can NOT read it tomorrow. 🙂

Love! I just sent this to my husband to see if he wants to do it! We're both hooked to our phones more than we should be and it would be a great excuse to 100% focus on family time with our son this weekend. Thanks for sharing <3
