Even though I have gone through about half of this week without watching one second of television, I still feel like I have no time. Although the challenge is to conserve energy, I think one thing that I was hoping to get out of this would be better quality time at home.  I figured I would either be spending time doing something productive or doing something with Ashley, instead we are doing the same things except with the television off.  I think it is a problem of television AND computers.

Well, I cannot give up my computer time, otherwise I might lose my job.  I suppose I could give up my computer time at home, but then I would have a tough time accomplishing everything I want to do for this blog and my other online addictions (Facebook/Twitter/Reddit).   I suppose I could try and make my time more efficient on the computer and set goals so that this darn internet does not consume my free time.  Turning off my computer would be good for the environment (and my brain) too.

I realized this last weekend that Ashley and I were sitting right next to each other playing Scrabble on Facebook.  Why?  We own the game.  I think it would have been better to get the physical game out play it instead of interacting through our laptops. 

This week started as an exercise in reducing waste, but might end up more of an examination of time management and how to best harvest all the marrow I want to squeeze out of life.  Let me know any tips you have in the comment area below.
