Yes, yes, I was supposed to update you on this last week. Oh, and the week before. But life is busy no matter how much extra time you have from giving up Tiny Death Star.
This has been much harder than I anticipated. I literally had to delete the Facebook app from my phone in order to keep from opening out of habit. I compromised by accessing it through the web browser when I needed to access messages that held addresses or other pertinent information I needed.
I have not missed Twitter one whit. I never realized how much pressure I put on myself to keep up with it. I've felt the twinge to update now and again, even actually doing so once. But, It's probably something I could easily live without with the exception of not being able to read Beck's tweets.
The hardest thing by far has been not having my Instagram account. I miss seeing the pictures of my nephew. I miss documenting things like my daughter climbing a tree for the first time. And I gave in and Instagrammed her singing the ABC song with my husband one afternoon.
I've been better with the games. I do access one of mine that requires daily interaction one time a day - right before bed. But even that has sort of lost its appeal and I may give it up altogether.
This has been a pretty fruitful experiment thus far and it did push me to interact with the kid more. I'm looking forward to getting my Instagram back, but I'll be okay with not inundating myself with most of the other apps once March 1st rolls around.
Any suggestions for next month's challenge?
