day #8: disconnect to connect

i like this concept a lot:
"connecting by disconnecting".

i've also been recently made aware of a multi-tasking fast:
doing only one thing at a time.
mono-tasking.

while i don't struggle with a crackberry addiction or a need to drown my thoughts with the radio,
i do find myself wasting time being too "plugged in".
i'm not certain i could or should unplug completely in today's culture,
but this article has challenged me to cut back.

i realized how much i needed to as i watched TV last night while
  • emailing
  • working on a book proposal
  • writing an article
  • texting
eliminating one of those things would increase the quality of all the others.

i think i'll consider attempting the unplugging endeavor or the mono-tasking challenge.
or at least a modified variation of one.
