"It is my belief that I spend too much time staring into a screen, whether it's TV, monitor, tablet, phone, etc. Now I don't know about you, but when I'm looking into a screen, I'm usually mindlessly droning most of the time. If I were to die tomorrow, I'd definitely regret having spent my time so meaninglessly.

So starting today, I will attempt to have a "screen-free" life for a month, where I will stay away from all screens with a few exceptions (skype, work related, posting a blog). In short, don't send me any messages on facebook and expect me to get back to you. Call!"
This was my latest facebook status, and it got me thinking.  If droning is a meaningless waste of time, then what is a meaningful way to spend your time?  I'm not sure.  But I know that mindless staring into a screen isn't meaningful, to me at least.  If I had to guess, I'd say 1. Spending time with loved ones, 2. Fulfilling personal goals that will give you a sense of achievement, would have some meaning.
