Day 1 End - Unplugged

So first day unplugged, not too bad.

Finished up most of any updates, emails, ect first thing yesterday morning, so spent the majority of the day holding up my end of the bargain. Found myself thinking about getting online to check this, kill some time over this, just a quick peek at that….but I didn't succumb to the temptation. My mind really wanted to cave a couple times, but I held off, and happy I did. I figure these first few days will be the hardest, as my usual habit is to avoid work both at home and at work, by getting on the internet, ect. So just need to change some habits.

At lunch at work I usually surf the net, so when I sat down with lunch, realized I had nothing to do but work. So I stared out the window at the view while I ate lunch, which I have a great view overlooking the mountains, so it was pleasant. Think I will join friends at a kitchen table in the future…avoid temptation at least initially.

Also found that with no TV at dinner, I ended up propping open a book to read while I ate. I think the husband and I will eat more meals together going forward. Just changing of habits right now.

I logged onto an online PC game last night, and managed to be off in about 3 minutes. Cleaned out my 'mail' system, and dropped a line to a couple people that I wouldn't be available. That was the last issue I had outstanding, and happy I didn't get 'distracted' in the process, just logged in, completed business, and out.

Result of day 1:

• Work Productivity - Good
• Home Productivity - Mild (wasn't feeling good, was still more productive then usual, but ended up going to bed early and reading more)
• Energy about project - High
• Physical Energy - Low (not feeling well)
• Mental clarity - Medium (I know I need to do this, still some mild background noise in head contradicting path, but feeling good and progressing)
