Remember back in the day when I used to do that “try one thing a month” thing ala Morgan Spurlock? Well, it’s time to start again.

During September (my birthday month! and also we’re going on vacation!), my goals focus around spending less time with technology.

I will:

• Not check Facebook or Twitter. Seriously. I’ve changed my passwords to something random and I’ll reset them at the end of the month.
• Trim my RSS feeds. So far I am down to the normal tech blogs I read for work, plus 10 I read for fun. (This is down from the 150 I read for fun).
• Check my gmail once in the morning, once at lunch, and once in the evening.
• Only watch TV on purpose (Mad Men, True Blood, Weeds, The Big C)
• Run at least three times a week (per my couch to 5k plan).

The moral of the story? If you need me quickly in the next month, call me!
