I’ve been home from Morocco for a week now. I’ll blog more about the trip later though since I don’t have the time for editing all the travel photos today.
Lately I’ve been thinking about how the hell I get nothing done even though most days I’m free to do whatever I want. I came to the conclusion that I spend too much time randomly surfing the internet. I can sit in front of the computer for five hours or more at a time just reading blogs, posting at forums, hanging at DeviantART, googling random stuff, read online magazines etc. I think I’m going to challenge myself to stay off the computer for a couple of days. Not stay of it completely but rather stay off it unless I’m doing something creative, like web designing or digital painting. It would be good for me to focus 100% on creativity for a while. I really want to finish the new layout for my site while I upgrade to the latest version of WordPress and I really want to make a new digital painting.
I think I’ll start this challenge next week. It will be interesting to see how much creative things I get done if I focus 100% on them for a couple of days.
You've found the the online home of a 29 year old Swedish web designer, artist and blogger who goes by the name Angelica. The site consists of 558 MB words, photos and art. Please do take a look around.
I seen some of your pictures on your Facebook and they were amazing :3
I went through that “no computer” period last year. I actually got a lot done by not being on the computer. I found a lot of the time I would want to go on to check something “quickly” but I would always get sidetracked and end up staying on the computer longer than I planned. So what I did was keep a list of things I wanted to do that were on the computer and then I had certain times of day where I would let myself on the computer and I wasn’t allowed on other than that time. It worked really well. Good luck with your system!
sv: Åh, vad skönt att någon till har samma ‘problem’ då! haha… Ja alltså det var exakt samma här. Herregud, jag kunde äta tre stripsmenyer på den sluskiga hamburgerbaren här i veckan, som mellanmål dessutom, var inga problem och jag tänker aldrig VARKEN på vad jag åt eller hur jag såg ut. Jag hade ju en smal kropp och det fanns aldrig nånting att fundera över! Men jag känner igen precis det du säger. Jag är precis som du och hatar idealen och att folk förblindas så mycket… ändå hamnar man på något sätt där till slut själv. Suck,
