We haven't owned a TV for most of the 10 years my husband and I have been married, and that really helps, but the little screen on our laptops is a never-ending challenge to manage, and very easily becomes a black hole into which we throw our time and attention!

I spend far too much time keeping busy with largely insignificant distractions. Sure it is great to keep connected, get information and build relationships but I also need to focus on what really matters.

It seems that everyone is looking for some new location or occupation to provide eternal happiness. It is important to remember to open our eyes and really be in the moment of what we are doing now. Great Post!

It's so true, trying to cut out the non-value-adding stuff from your day is tough, because most of them are habits.

"The chains of habit are too small to be seen until they are too strong to be broken."

Not necessarily true, because they actually can be broken if you really want to break them, but the ease in which we live and attain information makes it unseemly to remove onself from the nourishing stream of info. Especially in the blogging world, not knowing every little tidbit is almost crippling in a way, but at the same time sets us free.
