Cold Turkey.

An experiment is in order. I'm going to restrict my media intake exctensively for two full days and then on the third attempt a solitary festival of creative output.

The Rules:

• No Television.

• No more than 30 minutes of internet a day, 15 in the morning and 15 at night. No blogging, blog browsing, general browsing, or news scanning. Mostly just email checking and banking. The rest of the time the computer is off.

• No music. This will be hardest, especially considering the excessive awesomeness that is Coldplay's X&Y. Poor me.
  

• No reading of magazines, newspapers, or weeklies.

• Books can be read but only if time allows for 45-60 mintue stretches and for no more that 2 hours a day. I don't want to simply distract myself momentarily.

• Picture taking is allowed. But there shall be no review of the pictures taken.
  

I will not construct things creatively for the first two days, but I will keep a succinct log of what it all feels like. After two days of this I will wake up with what I presume will be a very clear head. It will be a Saturday and I will output as much as I can into a notebook with a pencil only, because I like writing with the impermance of pencil.


Wish me luck.
