It is so tempting with so much information to become addicted to multitasking and you are right, we all feel this is not the good life yet at the same time its like an addiction that we can't quite kick. Thats one of the beauties of travel...your off the grid (hopefully!) Cheers, Michael I love this concept.

I agree, Rob. I’ve always tried to give myself an “out” and I inevitably fall back into old habits. It’s all or nothing!

Simplicity is bliss! I also think it's key to avoid exceptions, like I'll cut out everything except _____. Or except on Mondays, etc... You have to make it a habit or you're doomed to fall back into your old ones! I agree 100%! Simplicity is bliss! I also think it’s key to avoid exceptions, like I’ll cut out everything except _____.

I agree about the 4HWW - I haven't completely cut out *all* information, but I have cut way back on how much I read. Dan, that's true - sometimes you leave your RSS feeds rather than your RSS feeds leaving you. My interests have changed significantly over the past two years alone, so I'm constantly pruning my RSS subs. Hey, thanks, Minx!

I love my magazines so I don't think they'll be going but I'll give the others a shot, there are definitely a few RSS feeds that could get the boot. I find that a few are now not turned bad but just dont apply to me anymore. Excellent you should get a pingback soon.

I don't think I'd go as far as Mr Ferriss - who mostly relies on hearing the news via word of mouth - but I definitely consume too much pointless information each day and refresh my email status a ridiculous number of times. There's a lot to be said for going for a run or walk to clear the head. Really enjoying your blog, by the way: lots of interesting and original content. :) Agreed with and Dugg.
