No screen time - argh!
I have done an experiment 2 weeks in a row. No screen time on Saturday. For me screen time means no time on the computer since I have no TV.
What I found is I am almost addicted and feel a strong "need" to go on the internet.
Some of the most routine things I wanted to do:
1 - email mom to set up a breakfast and my son to confirm what time our hike was (I called instead)
2 - what hours was the bank open
3 - recipes. Although I rarely follow them to the letter, I no longer use old fashioned recipe books.
4 - lots of email ideas and follow ups. For these I had to keep a paper list.
5 - read a book (I read some kindle books on my computer).
What I did find is I got a number of things done that I would not have. For example, I did a bit more yard work and cleaned up my den a bit - both chores that needed doing. I read more old fashioned books (I actually prefer these).
I do think these days without computers sharpen me and I may continue this.

Random tidbits:
Interesting blog from my friend Adam Quinton on funding female founder companies.
And another one on startup investing by A. J. Steigman.
And one by Keith Miles on integrity.
