Have you ever thought about disconnecting? Less or No cell usage,, less / no computer usage (expect where necessary -ex. work)
I saw this on LIF today and have thought about it,, so I wanted to pass it along.

Yes. I try to disconnect at night. No cell, no computer. Not all the time but DH travels so sometimes we only have a few hours at night together and we just want it peaceful!

I try to disconnect at night... i will go online at work, check emails, play on this site. On my way home from work i will make phone calls and even when i first get home i will make all my calls and try to be done by around 7:00. The rest of the night is dedicated to TV and DH

ditto here... this is why im rarely on at night when me and DH are home
he hates when im on the phone for a long time at night when we are finally home together.... aside from the random spurts of checking my email, FB or LIW at night, im usually never on like i am during the day... unless DH is out or away (like now! )

Re: Q of the Day 2-
Yeah I do it with my cell phone all the time. I went for about two months without a cell phone. Our families were pissed. It did work bc once we connected our phones again we got less 'bs' phone calls at night time. Sometimes the quiet time helps, at least for me.

Re: Q of the Day 2-
i never go on the computer at night. after being on all day at work, the last thing i want to do is be back on the computer. i hardly ever use my cell phone, but i like knowing it's there to use whenever i want - although when i'm home, i keep it downstairs and far away from me.

Re: Q of the Day 2-
I rarely use my cell at night, and don't log onto the computer at home. I'm on the phone and computer at work all day, and after cooking & cleaning up at home, I need some time to unwind before bedtime.

Everyone was freaking but my thing is this, you can access me from 8-5 at work. I would get on email at night time. If you needed to reach us do it within work hours. It didn't fly for too long and we had to give in and get phones again.

Re: Q of the Day 2-
I'm on the computer and phone all day and I hate having to deal with it when I get home. The only thing I'll do is go on facebook once since I can't access it at work. After that, I like to be left alone. I shut my cell phone off at night because I don't want to be disturbed. The way I see it is if it's really important/emergency, the people that need to reach me have my house number and can call that.

Re: Q of the Day 2-
I basically do anyway lol When I am home, my phone is usually off or dying so I hardly use it, and I hardly use my computer unless I am uploading photos or anything like that.
However, lately I have become addicted to Twitter, so that may change lol

Last night, I was watching a movie and I realized I brought my Blackberry with me and put it within arms reach! I guess I can't let go. Ha ha!
