Day 5, Facebook and Twitter blackout
Jan. 19th, 2015 06:47 pmWell, I've not logged in to Facebook or Twitter for 5 days (I think—could be 6 or 4. Time flies when you're having fun!) After the first full day, when I cleaned up one bookcase shelf, I was very lazy, and didn't do any more until this afternoon. No pictures yet, mainly because there are things I've found that will need to be put somewhere else, and they are at the front of the bookshelf. Thus, it still looks untidy.
However, on the plus side, I threw away 5 years of meeting notes and the like, and have cleaned up one Billy-IKEA bookcase shelf as well as one large bookshelf.
But, you ask, how do I feel about not seeing my Facebook friends, or tweets? I feel fine. I don't miss them (or you, if you happen to be one of those I've friended on Facebook). This is not a bad thing, really.
The definition of a time-suck (to me) is something you feel compelled to do but in fact do not have to do—and this something takes up time during which you could do other much more useful things. I do not say that the statuses of friends, or their tweets, are not interesting, or valuable. I do say that they are not necessary to me at the moment. Tidying up my study and my living room are critical.
I am hopeful that everything I need to do will be done by the time the month is over. If not, I'm minded to extend the blackout until it is.
One thing I haven't gotten to grips with is books. I do need to be rid of some books, but I have not yet had the gumption to actually separate those I can do without. In my defense, I think that there are so many things in front of books that it's hard for me to be able to choose which ones should go. I am minded to discard all or almost all my computer books, as nearly all of them are obsolete.
So, I continue. I will post another picture when I've gotten a bit further on.

Emails I never finished reading…

I suppose the capital letters make him more Reputable, Legitimate, Certified, and Reliable. However, they devalue his "accreditation".
