30-day Challenge, No Instant Messaging Services!

[JacksEarth]

What the topic say!
I'm challenging myself and anyone who reads this to go 30days without using any Instant messaging service.
That includes:
MSN
AIM
Yahoo
Xfire
PSI
any of the sort!

Email, forums, (Facebook is borderline.. I won't use it.) And the likes are allowed~

What I hope to gain from this;
A more social and happier -Real- Life.

Do you spend hours a day just staring at your contact list, not really interested in talking to any of them? Or maybe you're feeling lonely and just wish someone would talk to you?
They don't respond to your messages?

Be rid of it!

So this challenge is about creating an independence from the internet.

Things to do:
- Uninstall -Any- IM service you have on your computer(s) (including Phones and portable pc's)
- Talk to people, whether you know them or not.
- Get off your ass and do something productive!

I invite anyone to come in here and write about their experiences, problems and solutions.
I will document my own progress if anything of interest pops up, you should do the same =]

Good luck! I notice with my own 30 days (Antony Robbins) it supports me to write every day. See if that works for you!
