A day without the internet

Luxurious living

byeeeeeeee

Hi there,

I spent 24 hours away from the internet.

Five things worth sharing this week:

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. The evening goes on evermore so slowly. Suddenly, time is apparent; in your face. It passes painfully slow, suddenly so obvious, laughing victoriously at you. Notice me now, you hear time say.

   In: A day without the internet.

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; 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’s 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.
