Earlier this week, I blogged about “Stacks”. This post’s all about my “slack”ing. One letter different, but similar stories!
I’m not really sure why I haven’t been blogging all week. It’s not been due to a lack of oozing brain clutter. In fact, I haven’t hardly slept all week due to all the brain clutter stuck in my brain. I just haven’t had the energy to get up and let it all ooze out. I think my sinuses have been overly clogged all week, right on the edge of a sinus infection/head cold, thus causing me to spend less time on the computer and having less time to blog. It’s been a rather lo-tech week – though completely unplanned.
I can’t really complain, though. The lo-tech lifestyle is really much more relaxing and fulfilling. I mean, I turn off the computer when the task I got on to complete is done, and I have a ton of time to spend with the kids, read books, watch TV with J, and I’m much less stressed about the little things in life! Maybe I should adopt this lo-tech lifestyle more often!
I generally try to hold to a lo-tech lifestyle on Sundays – a more relaxed, everybody (including Mommy) rests in the afternoons day. The most tech I generally ‘allow’ on Sundays is watching a movie while the kids nap or play.
Monday through Wednesdays usually tend to be high-tech days. From the time school is done in the mornings (or sometimes before) the computer is on and I’m ‘lucky’ to turn it off before dinnertime! And, honestly, I’m not accomplishing all that much – I just feel more productive if I’m sitting at the computer all day than if I’m down on the floor with the kids. (Something I’m trying to work on!)
Thursday through Saturdays vary in their tech-iness. Some weeks/days are high-tech and some are lo-tech. It really varies from week to week (and sometimes day to day). J definitely prefers me to have lo-tech days when he’s home, so I try to have lo-tech or at least less-tech days during the ‘weekend’, but some weekends ‘require’ more tech than others.
Anyways… this was kind of a random ranting post. If you’re still reading, kudos to you.
Q4U: Which day(s) is your “high-tech” day? Which is your “lo-tech” day?
