Every now and then I manage a day away from my laptop, although I have now updated to a smart phone I do try to not spend time on FB or blogger on it, so for me a day away from my computer is a day away from social media, e-mails and all that entails. On Sunday I had one of those days ~ no not one of THOSE days, but a day away from my computer. It was a very good day, not simply because I wasn't on FB but more because I was actually doing stuff, with real people who were in the same room as me!
Then on Monday, when I eventually got up I checked my computer and find I have about 30 e-mails to go through and slightly more notifications on FB.
Well by the time, I've put through a load of washing, and had a little tidy up and gone through all that lot I look at the clock and find that it's too late to do anything constructive at all. I seem to have wasted the whole day, with little more than some clean underwear to show for it.
If I had not turned on the computer I may well have gone off and done some work, but I did have to check to see if any important work related e-mails had come in, and then one thing just seems to lead to another. Were any of those numerous messages important? no virtually all the e--mails were spam and most of the FB notifications were the usual dross. Maybe I just needed to waste a day and recover from a busy few days.
