Get Ideas for Screen Free Fun at NoScreenTime.org

Last week I wrote about a challenge I’m doing where every day, I spend 2 hours away from all screens. The response to this challenge was overwhelmingly good so I decided to set up a new website to help people along. It’s called No Screen Time.

First, An Update

About 2 weeks in and I’m feeling really good about the challenge. I’m reading more, spending more time with friends, and my apartment has never been cleaner.

I find I’m doing a lot more tasks as I need to do them instead of putting them off to get back to some screen faster. The result is I don’t have a sink full of dishes, my laundry is not wrinkled, and there isn’t clutter everywhere. I think as far as Work/Life Balance goes, this is a huge positive since all of the work I do requires a screen.

Introducing NoScreenTime.Org

I built this as a way to help others get involved and participate in this challenge. I have some other small plans for it revolving around building a community, but for this most part this is a simple site – suggestions, and a reading list.

We are at the beginning of the month so now might be a good time to start! Also, for those who practice, this would be a great thing to do for Lent if you’re out of ideas.

No matter what, hopefully the site will be able to give you something constructive to do away from the computer.

Use the hashtag #2Hours0Screens to get involved. I’ll features good ones on the site.

    Reading Update: The Expectant Father

    I finished reading the first of my 2 January Reading books on Friday: The Expectant Father.

It takes the pregnancy month-by-month, telling you what’s going on with…
