I'm an information junkie and feel genuine physical withdrawal when I spend more than a few hours away from the Internet. But there's a lot of doom & gloom out there -- enough of it and you come away with a "what's the use?" attitude. Who needs that? But I've never been able to keep up the disconnect for more than a week. Occasionally I will try (with limited success) to disconnect from the depressing side of life by avoiding the news.

That said, however, I am adopting a super simple attitude by embracing your Super Simple Month philosophy and letting myself and my body take the time it needs to rejuvenate itself which will soon allow me to do the things I need to do to live a remarkable life! Thank you.

Other than work, we make no plans, the kids don't play sports, take dance lessons, etc. That way we have time to relax, enjoy each other and have time for impromptu gatherings with friends and family. It really makes summer special! We “take the summer off” every year.

I did something similar, but it was actually before my mother died. She had a three year battle with cancer, and when I knew the final stretch was ahead of us, I shut down for one month. I did nothing that was not absolutely necessary. It's true, some people get angry with you. (My mother included.) But I knew I would not be able to handle what lay ahead if I did not. I think the point is: we can do it when it is a matter of survival. We should make an effort to do it when we aren't, it could even be more beneficial. “Posted by JC – 02/03/2010

Like a few other posters, I feel like Jan and Feb are natural slow months for us, but formalizing it is a great idea. We're actually hosting a party for my daughter's baptism, but we will be keeping the menu and preparations VERY simple. We should be able to do all the prep the day before. I've been staying in and trying to organize as much as I can - fully implemented GTD over January and have been cleaning out all files and my childhood stuff since. Next, my school files! (I'm a grad student). What a great idea! Like a few other posters, I feel like Jan and Feb are natural slow months for us, but formalizing it is a great idea.
