As the year comes to a close, I (like many people) have begun to think about what the current year brought and what I’d like to do differently in the coming year.

This year has brought about a lot of changes and as a result I have more to think about than I have in years prior. One of the major changes is how much of my time is now spent online. I spent a lot of time online before, technically, but now that my job is added to the mix it has really made it clear how much time I spend talking to people through computers. I think the only reasonable experiment to add on this year is a little unplugging.

I’m armed with a fresh new planner, board games to the teeth, and family that is always up for a heated debate, so I figure that’ll get me through the week.

But don’t hold me to it. It’s an experiment, not a rule.
