Oh, I love this post ~ it’s really hit home! I think I have spent one day {or maybe a few more} off the internet this year and that was Christmas! I have probably touched my computer at least the same amount, if not more… This is definitely a case of keyboard+hand=fused. Help! I am a cyborg!

I think my new year resolutions will involve something about limiting internet time and/or cutting it off once or twice a week at least… I have been dallying with the idea, but now I can’t but help to think it’s necessary. Thank you. ^ w ^

xox,

P.S. ~ Am following your blog now. : )

One of my “blog” resolutions for the upcoming year is to disconnect more! I feel that it’s doing me absolutely no good to stay connected 24/7. It’s really just made blogging a whole lot more stressful for me, and has taken a lot of the enjoyment out of it… it’s so not healthy for me to keep gmail/twitter/facebook open ALL day. In fact, I feel anxiety when I’m not checking them every 5 minutes… that’s no way to live life!

Brilliant post. I love these quotes and the way you’ve assembled them (visually). It’s perfect timing because we’re only going away for 5 days – AND we’re bringing the cat which would usually make me feel weird (leaving him home) but it hit me that I won’t have internet access (except on my in-law’s computer: I can’t get my laptop to work at their house) and my phone ate my text folder last summer.. I purposely don’t have anything sent to my phone, no emails or twitter, so I’m going to be without all communication for 5 days. And I swear – I started actually getting separation anxiety! Not from real people – but from my virtual world.

What helps me connect? Swimming, actually. When I swim I feel in touch with what really matters. Simple things, like breathing.

sigh... yes. yes i am addicted to the internet. HOWEVER, i do not have a smartphone. in italy, you can't get a real phone with a plan that receives internet until you have your residency card, and that will take years. so my cell is pay-as-you-go, it gets no internet. i prefer this. i'm already addicted enough. i can barely watch a movie without my laptop on my lap so i can blog at the same time. there's always SOMEthing to do, and because i am so engaged and interested in the blogging community, i just need to do it. but i do disconnect at times. and i'm pretty good about not staying too connected on vacation. i'm glad you're disconnecting this weekend. you deserve some time away! p.s. i love the dilbert cartoon. =P Full Time Fabulous - Kristy twitter: @kristyelena my latest post: the ULTIMATE Sunglass Hut Gift Guide

I totally answered yes to all of the above. I'm SICK obsessed with my iPhone too. I could have written this post! Good for you for disconnecting. It's good to do it every so often. We really won't die. It sure feels like it, though. V http://www.gritandglamour.com twitter: @gritandglamour

B, ever since I started blogging properly in April this year, I also have this incessant need to keep checking the net like ALL the time to see who’s posted what/commented…But now, i take a break ever now and again. Whilst I still reading blogs on my phone too every now and then, I don’t necessarily comment on every single post I read.

I am so feeling these quotes/words of wisdom… I hope you have a fabulous ‘time out’ weekend!

See you soon beautiful.
