My month of reducing my superfluous web browsing is
over. Looking over my list of what I
said I would not do online, it is clear that I part-succeeded and part-tanked this challenge. Here’s a brief
report card of how I did with each item:
1. I'll be abstaining from all items listed under "Super Superfluous."
This was a mixed bag. In terms of social media websites (Facebook,
Twitter, etc.), I abstained almost 100%.
I accidentally logged into FB the very first day. That’s it.
If this were the whole of my “Super Superfluous” category, I’d get an A. But it isn’t. While I managed not to peruse online stores
for things I don’t need, and avoided YouTube and strangers’ blogs, I totally
looked up every cast member of Game of Thrones on IMDB. AND I spent over an hour late at night reading
stupid gossip on EOnline! Grade: C

2. I will spend no more than 15 minutes daily looking at friends' blogs and the news
online.
Aside from gossip “news” on EOnline! (so not news), I did
keep myself in check here. Grade: A
