Go Offline

We are so connected that it seems absolutely insane to try to go offline for days at a time. The CEO of HootSuite recently went (almost completely) offline for 14 days. I’m not suggesting you go cold turkey for two weeks, but what could you handle?

Today’s Idea: Go offline for an entire 24 hour period. Fill that day up with sleeping and being outdoors (without your gadgets) so the time flies by. C’mon, give it a shot!

If you don’t have a blog, maybe this 30-second read will convince you to start one.

Sell Something

Junk lives everywhere. In your car, in your closet, in your entertainment center, in your office… everywhere! The question is: Do you realize how much junk you actually have?

A few years ago I had a “Craigslist Weekend” — No, not with the Casual Encounters boards; with the For Sale boards. One weekend later I was over $400 richer. Talk about night on the town next weekend!

Today’s Idea: Find one thing you haven’t used in 3 months, and sell it. Use Craigslist, eBay, Backpage, or what is becoming my new personal favorite… Amazon. Just sell it. For how much? Who cares! You haven’t used it in over three months, so either it can sit for 3 more months (or years) being useless, or it can make you a few bucks.

Once you realize how good it feels to get cash from something you aren’t going to miss anyway, do it again, and again, and again… until all the junk is gone.
