We are currently living without internet for the indefinite future. I check my email a few times a week at my parents' house, and we live very close to a library. But I finally understand why I had so much trouble getting anything done. I have had so much time to do enjoyable things instead of feeling enslaved to checking my email or Facebook every spare moment I got.
When I had cable (before I was married), I used to think, or feel, as though I couldn't live without it. To be sure, we still watch a couple of shows on the computer, but nothing like I was accustomed to doing. Now the TV gives me a headache after it's on more than 30 minutes, and I can't stand listening to or watching it for any amount of time.
The same has become of the internet. Now that I know how to live without it and what I could have been doing with my time all along, I'm not sure that I ever want it again. It may become a necessity at some point, but perhaps not having it for some amount of time will help me restrain my old time-wasting habits.
