Simplification

Well, I moved over to Google Reader today because Bloglines is going to be shutting down. I realized in the switch that I only have 7 feed subscriptions (now 8) which made me happy. Though I still haven't kicked the habit of checking the internet multiple times a day I have substantially decreased the amount of time I spend at each sitting. Taking two minutes to check my email and facebook a couple times a day and my reader a couple times a week isn't bad. I'm still working on this though. It bothers me that I feel compelled to know if someone has sent me an email even though I know they haven't. I struggle with simplicity. I am thoroughly convinced that for all the simplifying I've done over the years I haven't made it very far. Other than a few minutes here and there on multitask I really haven't spent much recreational time on the computer recently. I'm pretty proud of that.
