Media Fast 30 days
Posted by awaqas1 on October 23, 2008
What new habit am I committing to maintain for the next 30 days?
I am committing to a total media fast for the next 30 days starting today October 23rd 2008 Which will last until November 23rd 2008. The reason for this is to detox the layer of obscurity that is effecting my daily routines, diluting my true values and pilfering my time seamlessly.
This includes:
- No Youtube (absolutely none)
- No T.V. (live, or recorded)
- No blog reading (will only post my journals)
- No MSN or any other form of Chatting
- No Magazines or Newspaper reading or any kind.
- No Internet surfing except school/work/research related.
What will this do for me if I succeed?
I have done this for a day before for my Media Psychology class which worked out pretty well. The day seem to stretch a lot longer, there is time to do many things, sense of clarity is increased and there is an increase in awareness. I usually end up reading much more about a lot of different topics which tributes to high levels of motivation and more outcome in terms of productivity. All this is far more important to me than just entertaining myself or entertaining someone else, I don’t feel that I am missing out on a lot so this should not be too difficult but rather be rewarding every step along.
How will I reward myself after 30 days of success?
The sense of achievement and increase of gratitude shall suffice, materialistically speaking I will probably purchase a few books to reward myself.
