Unplugged Experiment Part 1

I recently read Save Your Sanity: Have a Communications Blackout Day on lifehack.org which reminded me of my own Unplugged Accidental Experiment post a week ago.

My new (and first on placelessjobs) experiment is to be disconnected from the Internet for at least 1/4 of time working on my computer per day. This is not something that is going to be easy for me to do. 90% of my work is done in front of a computer, but not all of it is communication or the need for searching and research across the Internet. Just like my accidental unplugged day, I will have to plan out my usage strategically.

I have two goals out of this:
1) To see if it can improve my productivity and focus
2) See if clients notice all drop in level of service. (I respond pretty quickly to most things probably because of my tendency to be easily distracted)


Next Action: I will be keeping a daily log and will post the results of my experiment next week.
