A day without the internet

Luxurious living

Shuffle, Shuffle

Hi there,

I spent 24 hours away from the internet.

Five things to share:

1. When those in-between moments we rush to fill with the digital noise become available, time starts to feel infinite. The morning feels longer, the afternoon drags on, and evenings go on evermore slowly. Suddenly, time is apparent— In your face. It passes painfully slowly, laughs at you victoriously: Notice me now, you hear time say.

2. The 24-hour digital detox has proven to boost productivity, help with focus, increase creative insights, and even reset your circadian rhythm, but what do you need to do to prepare for a 24-hour digital detox? The 5 Essential Items You Need for a DIGITAL DETOX

   Psst… you don’t need to purchase anything for a successful digital detox, but it can make the experience more fun. It’s nice to have a disposable camera to take pictures with on your walk, or jot down thoughts and ideas on a piece of paper throughout the day. What you do need is free: Do put your devices away. 

3. A quote I want to share with you:

   “Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its shortness.”

   — Jean de La Bruysre

   There is so much time in the day, we just need to make time to find it.

4. Offline: day one of life without internet

   Paul Miller describes his first 24 hours away from the internet.

5. A question for you: What do you unplug for?

   Leave a comment with your answer for a chance to win a NDU I Unplug For Mug or Tote Bag (your pick!) I’ll be mailing it to an address you provide.

That’s all for this week!

Thank you for reading, and please share with anyone you think may benefit.

time spent offline is now a monthly analog publication you can get delivered straight to your mailbox with 20 ideas every month.

Until next time,

Mehret
