Today will be a no Internet day.
No reason in particular. It just sounds nice.
No checking Instagram every few hours. No trying to find something to watch on YouTube. No watching TweetDeck like a hawk. No checking Facebook and no hoping someone makes some funny jokes.
You see, Thursday was spent with a ton of time trying to find YouTube videos about art journaling and how you go about it and what you need to do and all that nonsense.
Except, after watching a few videos, I realized there is no instructions, and nobody on YouTube is going to be able to explain it to me. Plus, a lot of the work that I found just seemed like a mess of stuff. I'm sure it means something to that person, but it didn't signify anything to me. And that's probably the point.
I ended up doing a few "arty" pages of my own and am quite pleased with them, actually. And they look nothing like what I found on YouTube.
Then I spent some time in my imagination (as one should, from time to time) and found some decently cool stuff. But, came back to the Internet in hopes of Twitter finding me something cool, only to be disappointed. Pandora was even disappointing.
Instead, I'll be spending today knitting and making arty pages and journaling. Because, well, that's what I've been doing the rest of the week - only it's been done between screens of varying brightnesses and distractions. Which are distracting from the things which are in my head. Which are things I don't really want to lose. They seem nice enough to explore, so I'm going to try.
So, no Interneting for me today.
Because I want a day off. And I've deserved it, as much time as I've put into the machine. Plus, I know it will all continue on as normal if I'm not here for it. If I want to, I can catch up over the weekend. Or not. We will see.

P.S. We will see how successful this all goes. I'm not sure I've ever done anything like this before. I'm hopeful.
P.P.S. By "today" I mean Friday the 6th of November. Most posts are written at least the night before, as this post was, so it being posted in the morning doesn't infringe on the "no Internet" - just wanted to clear that up.
Good luck - I need to do something like that in my house! Non internet days feel so more productive (enforced by power cuts in my case, but I think I need to do it more intentionally).
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if my day was any more productive, but it sure was nice to have a break!
DeletePower cuts, though, that is never fun - not easy to get much done, no matter what else is going on!
Thanks so much for stopping by! :)
