Thanks for the reminder to get sane occasionally, again. I did a baby digital detox, just for a morning. Got a lot done, I feel better. As usual.

When I say digital detox, for me it means - no internet connection. It's the internet which sends me off the rails, in terms of time wasting/attention sucking behavior.

I still use my laptop, but I've gotten MOST of what I do regularly off the internet. Goodbye handy-dandy Google docs, hello regular old text files (mostly, sometimes other formats).

So - I can still write notes, compose emails, etc, using my laptop. What I don't have is that immediate ability to get online and "research" something. It has to wait. Which is good.

And again - I use Slim Launcher to clear my phone, and only allow phone calls and texting. It's not ideal, because notifications still come up, which allow you to pop up the app (haven't figured that out yet) but it's an improvement.
