My most recent work contract ended last month, and after telecommuting for the past decade, I'm fixing to pull the plug. Eventually I'll return to working, hopefully only part time, and I think I'll want my next job to be offline.
Now (SL forum not withstanding) I'm wasting a lot of time online that I could be spending on artistic or other creative projects. I ditched TV about 20 years ago and have never missed it. Now I'm planning to cancel my home Internet service after I do some online storage housecleaning and sign up for 2015 health insurance next month.
I've never owned a smartphone, but I think soon I'll get the $10 monthly plan from Republic Wireless for basic communication. For essential Internet use, I'm planning to take the smartphone or my Chromebook to a library or coffee shop once or twice a week.
For weather and news, I'm eyeing a simple AM/FM radio. Or maybe subscribe to weather forecasts via text. For tracking expenses, I'm going to buy a plain old paper notebook or ledger instead of logging in to the cloud.
Anyone else doing this?
