INTRO
So the winter has finally let up here in Iowa and it has me in a great mood. Say what you want about the harsh winters of the Midwest, it makes the Spring that much sweeter when it finally crops up through the icy tundra.
With the beautiful days ticking away as I'm stuck inside on my computer and a recent signup at
Wakoopa, I've been more conscious of how I'm spending my time. It's not that I'm completely wasting it but it certainly feels that way as I hear kids run around at recess outside or watch the clouds pass in front of bright blue skies. I'm always doing stuff in front of screens. You'd think I worshipped these guys, staring endlessly into their sputtering radiance. But no more!
Every single day, I'm going to do
at least one thing that doesn't involve a screen of any kind. What constitutes a screen? Anything with pixels. No pixels! Not here, not anywhere. What constitutes a "thing"? Whatever it is, it can't be routine.
THE RULES
- Do a Thing everyday that doesn't involve a screen. No screens. Zero! If you must carry a cell phone in case of emergency, turn off 3G
- Things can't include errands, chores, work, showers, cooking, sex, routine stuff and etc.
- Don't be clever and repeat the "Thing" over and over everyday or even alternate. Variety is the spice of No Screening.
- Rules are subject to change, this is Alpha, people...

Everyone should post what they do with their crazy No Screen time here. Of course, if you take a picture or video of it you will have blasphemed and we here at the No Screen Corporation will void your day of No Screen time. Better luck tomorrow!
