So far the trial is going well. I realize I had gotten very used to that instant entertainment, and now that I don't watch them, I am more attuned to the way my life is unfolding, and where I am now.
I feel that I am ready to leave at any moment to go meet anybody or do anything at a moment's notice, which was not the case when I would be watching some interesting movie.
I began to read some interesting books such as Blink, and I gone through many chapters of "the Memory Book" by Harry Loraine, as well as a few pages from a Sherlock Holmes novel (something I've always wanted to do).
I think it will be easier for me to go to bed early if I end my evenings reading. If I go out and arrive home very late, I will probably go straight to bed instead of wasting more time fumbling around the computer.
This trial, combined with the fact that I'm also doing a trial of eating no sweets, and not drinking coffee in the morning, and doing at least 2 tai chi's and a small meditation each day, makes me feel very efficient and productive, and the void created by removing those counter-productive habits leaves room for creativity and freedom of expression of different kinds.
