    Another thing that should be added to the list: do NOT get work email addresses hooked up to your home computer or blackberry/iphone.

    I tried this once during a busy period at work when I took leave. BIG mistake. Will NEVER do it again. On the plus side, I didn't end up with my usual 500 emails upon returning.

      I truly understand that. I have my blog emails and my personal emails sent to my Blackberry. I couldn't imagine having my work ones sent there too. That would be too much. Work would be chiming in wherever I would be when off, and that is not healthy.

      I unfortunately don't have that option. Sometimes you just have to turn the BB off

    I agree with the above comments re: work emails. I have never had them sent to my BlackBerry, even though I briefly considered it at one time. That would be too stressful!

    In addition to putting my cell phone on silent at times, I also have times when I come home and do NOT turn on the TV all night, or the computer. Just silence, and I use that time to read, write, or do some things around my home. I feel so much better the next day!

      Earlier last year I unplugged from the Internet altogether for about two and a half weeks and I will tell you, I felt so light and free. The instant updates and constant news cycle can beat you up. I told myself I was going to limit my Internet usage but that hasn't happened yet.

  3. I grew up without all the technology too but let me tell you I have it and I shall never part from it! I do often think that maybe I am too connected especially since I got the blackberry. However, my thing is that only a few people actually have my phone number. I rarely give it out, not even on business cards. Call the 800 number and I'll get back to you but you better be sure that my phone number will be blocked.

    Once I went to the mall, one that's pretty far from my house. When I got to the mall I noticed I left my phone. I wanted to go back home and get it so bad but it would have been silly to waste that gas for a phone. I said to myself, well this is going to be hard but it really was peaceful. I just walked and shopped and even went to dinner with myself. No texting and walking into things in the mall.lol No trying to take a phone call while stuffing my mouth at the same time. No checking making sure I didn't drop my phone. Pretty nice.

    I turn off the PC at 7pm – every night – no matter what. I have a hobby, painting, that takes me away from all technology – and it's so peaceful. No tv, no radio … just the fireplace and painting. I do not send birthday or holiday e-cards or e-sentiments of any kind – ever. I think its rude. I still send cards…and my child, who is 11 writes cards and Thank You letters. Don't get me wrong – I'm a gadget junkie. I have 2 laptops, 2 PCs and a Plam Pre .. but I also love peace and quiet above all else. I think if everyone devoted a block of time each week to No Tech Toys … they'd find a peace they didn't know was missing from their lives.
