Revolting Against Energy Zapping Computers

I know this will be an ironic post - bitching about computers while using one! I've been spending all my free time working on promoting the Rose of Sharon Jewelry web site, fine-tuning this blog, building a new Etsy store to promote a new product line, uploading pictures and researching SEO for all our online efforts. Since I have a strong computer background (which is good and bad), I often take on learning new things and doing all the minor revisions and tweaks myself.I'm tired of all of it. Computers are personal energy zappers!

If you suffer from computer fatigue - finish this post and log-off now. Hug your dog, pet your kid, read a book or bead a necklace.

Spending so much time on the computer has trigger more back pain so I am going to take Saturday off - no email, no Twitter, nothing resembling a keyboard. Laptop in the bag!

Speaking of computers - I've been participating in a Web conversation regarding "online ignorance". While I don't suffer from that condition, I do know that the emphasis on Web 2.0 is out of kilter with reality. Under Online Ignorance LOL at Home-Jewelry-Business-Success-Tips by Rena Klingenberg. I think this is an interesting concern for artists in all mediums - so I need to be online and what do I do if I suffer from "online ignorance"? I thought I'd share my comments here so help others. Visit the conversation here.

Would love to hear about what you do INSTEAD of spending time online.
