Slow Media Diet: Day #9
Well, this week was easy: I left for work at 6:50am every day and returned home around 9pm. I’m usually in bed by 11, so my day’s were pretty much accounted for.
I have to say, I’m feeling much, much better. Before this I frequently got headaches (probably eye strain) and even occasionally experienced mild nausea (probably motion sickness from my eyes continually darting around a screen for hours on end). Those symptoms are now gone. I’m also more clear-headed, more relaxed and less prone to spiraling internal monologues.
I did have my first lapse this week, however. One night when it was late and I was too revved up to sleep, I watched Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession to help me doze off. My first strike, but at least it was film, which I don’t find nearly as mind-scrambling as the net.
I’ve done a couple media interviews about this experiment and I’ll post links when those stories are up.
