Taking a Digital Break

So following up on yesterday's post on my new year's resolutions is my call it anti digital life post! Okay so its not really anti digital life but one thing that I need to do is take a break once in awhile. That would seem odd because if you take a break you have less to talk about right? But I realized I can be enraptured with the computer, the video games and the TV allot more than I should be sometimes. So this year in order to be a better friend, father and husband to real people I've made it a promise to take digital breaks. While it may sound funny it was last night when I actually sat down to read (not using a Kindle by the way) that I realized that I need to do this for my own sanity. Its not that I don't play with my kid or spend time with my wife, but often times I run back and forth to the computer as well. I guess it's a simple idea, but from time to time we forget and this is my time to remember. I spend all day on the computer at work and its the first thing I go to when I get home and the last thing I do before I go to bed. This year I'd like to change that, and I think I will, even if it does cause me to curl up on the floor in the fetal position and rock back and forth I promise to not Twitter it.
