Probably 70% of the population spends too many hours on their PCs. If you don't shut it off, you may start to look like this. People are normally beautiful, but the internet can kill! The pic is my mother, and that's makeup. She posed for it.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

  • Lots of will power
  • God's help
  • An off switch for your PC
Step1
TURN OFF your computer! Move away from the desk.
Step2
Get off your arse and find a fulfilling activity. Spend some time with your spouse and kids. take a walk, work out in your yard, exercise, take the dog for a walk, try to get your cat to sit on your lap, go hiking or fishing, enjoy nature, even reading a book!
Step3
When you finish all the other things you have to do, take a nice soothing shower or bath, whichever you prefer. Relax! Let the emails go for a day! The world won't go away in a day or two.

Tips & Warnings

  • If the computer is part of your job, of course this won't work. However, when you're at lunch or come home, then you can take a break.
  • You may feel anxiety from just being away from the computer. Occupy yourself in some other way.
  • Don't let the PC rule your life!

on 8/15/2008 What, you mean actually read a book, work in my garden, take a walk and talk to my spouse? I guess I could do that for one day.

on 7/26/2008 It sounds like you're trying to convince yourself as well as everyone else :) lol . The problem is we're all in denial, we don't think we spend that much time on the PC.
