to be considering giving up facebook, twitter, AND mumsnet for a year?

[thatlldopigthatlldo]

I've decluttered my house. And now I feel like it would be good for me to declutter my life. I spend way too much time on the internet and it's not actually restful use of my spare time.

Oh, but I need mumsnet in a crisis I do. Maybe just facebook and twitter.

I am an addict.

I gave up Twitter two months ago, read FB very sporadically. MN is more difficult to cut but I do try occasionally and always feel better for it. Giving up the sites, even for a few days, gives me:
-more time
-less guilt through constant procrastination
-less guilt through constant fobbing off the DCs as I read another IABU thread

I swear giving up Twitter has given me a clearer head - I don't feel like I'm constantly half-listening to other people's conversations. I think it depends how self-disciplined you are (I'm not very) , so cutting them completely works best for me.

hmm, but the internet is 'clutter' isn't it.

it's more stuff. and i have plenty to do already.

i have a blog somewhere too i'm going to dereg from. but i've forgotten how to access it so maybe that's just as good.

just how fucking hard to websites make it to dereg, it's taken me half an hour to figure out how to close down a gmail account.

YANBU

Do it!
