Services for Real Estate Pros with The Secret Assistant
Can you stretch your imagine, I mean REALLY stretch it to imagine living without your computer for an entire day?

This includes:
  • NO web surfing
  • NO email
  • NO online working
  • NO Twittering
  • NO MySpace
  • NO Facebook
  • NO IM
  • Don't Even Check Your Calendar!

Are you up for the challenge? Great! Tomorrow is Shutdown Day. The idea of Shutdown Day project is simple - just shutdown your computer for one whole day of the year. Instead of hanging off a keyboard all day involve yourself in some other activities: sports, gardening, fun stuff with friends and family - whatever, just to remind yourself that there still exists a world outside your monitor screen.

You can sign up for the challenge on the Shutdown Day site, http://www.shutdown.org/. Prove to yourself, and the world that you can do it. Enter photos and videos about your challenge. As an added incentive you have a chance to win prizes!

Go ahead...Just Do It...as a great shoe company always says...it is Saturday anyway....you need a break!

We will meet back here Monday to talk about rehab.

Hi Jeri - Good idea!  It does get harder and harder.  I try to do this once per week - on the weekend.  Sometimes I even manage it both days..but it does make Monday morning scary!!

OMG, this would only happen if civilization as we know it ended.  Or I was in the middle of a family crisis or had lost my mind.  I am only Velcro'd to my PC, not so much to my phone or any other device.  I decided to draw the line somewhere.

Good luck with this.  I would need a 12 step program...
