The last day I didn't turn on a computer

I was thinking today - when was the last day that I DIDN'T use a computer? I can't remember specifically, but it has to be at least 2 years...possibly back to college or even back 6 or 7 years to high school. Whenever I've traveled - for work or business - I always bring my lapper because most hotels now a days have wi-fi...or at least somewhere in the area that you can "borrow" wi-fi from.

Even if (and it's a big if) I've had a day where I didn't check my work email, I surely checked ESPN.com or paid a bill online. And as much as I love my computers, I think it's time I take one day (at least 24 hours) where I don't check my computer no matter what. No email & no web browsing - personal or business. So I think I'm going to take a day and do NOTHING tech related (I won't play video games or watch DVDs either).

I think in the bigger picture, it will probably be a good idea to start doing this once/week. The internet can survive without me for a day or two :), so I need to let go and spend some time doing fun stuff that doesn't involve the web. Even if I don't feel the "need" to get away, it probably would be a good idea to spend a day with my family, or play basketball, or take a trip, or whatever. Right now, I do alot of that stuff, but only for a few hours at a time, and I'm always right back to work when I'm done. I gotta make sure I don't burn myself out at 24...got a lot of entrepreneuring left.
