I've been sitting on my deck lately....er...with my computer. However, I schedule in times of exercise in the "real world" as well. <br /> <br /> Fortunately, I have plenty going on in the outside to keep me busy. I volunteer with high school students, and as much as their world is evolving online, it still gives me a break.<br /> <br /> I think of the same thing with cell phones and how we are tied to them.

It's so easy to get wrapped up in whatever you're looking at that an entire day can go by without ever leaving the computer. I work from home so it's even more dangerous for me. I try to schedule in a walk outside every day. It's even on my calendar. It's important to remember that we lived without technology for thousands of years, we can do it for a couple hours.<br /> <br /> BTW - I recently took a vacation to visit a friend and, since we're both internet addicts, we made a rule - no internet unless we're finding out info about a place we're visiting that day. It was actually really nice to be disconnected for a few days.<br /> <br /> Thanks for the great reminder!<br /> Amanda Moore<br /> Virtual Assistant

Or maybe it was all the coffee I drank this morning. I work my 9 to 5 and then I go home daily and work on freelance work so it is definitely a good idea for me to make time to have some fun in the sun, and spend some time with family or friends. I think that I spend waaaaayyyyyy too much time on my computer. http://www.stephanspencer.com/social-networking/avoiding-social-media-burnout#c825944
