Thinking Back to Simplicity Week

My junior year of high school we were reading Walden, and I decided to undergo a week without technology for a project and talk about what I learned. I got so much more stuff done that week, read more books I liked, and went outside more often. I was also less stressed.

I've been thinking about that more and more as I got busier and busier and more stressed at Uni, and I decided I needed to do something. I'm taking a month off from the forum and IRC to see how much stress that cuts out of my life. The moment I did it, I felt free. I don't know if I'll go back. I loved the community, and enjoyed the chat room, but so much of my worry and stress and frustration stems from that place.

So at the end of the month I should know whether or not the forum is worth it.
