The first assignment was....tough to put it simply. 12 hours with out any form of media (my cell, TV, radio etc.). Right off the bat I realized there is no way i would be able to do this since I had to work for the first part of the day. My job includes movies, albums, computer. But i made it a goal to not use my cell during the day, and while doin some school work I attempted to refrain from checking my fantasy baseball team, facebook, twitter and all the other stuff that normally distrated me from doin the work.
The single hardest thing wasnt my cell or facebook....it was pandora. Tryin to sit down and do work in silence was well..... unbelievably hard. I found myself making random noises with my pen, or teeth, or fingers with out even noticing. I had to break up the silence. But other then the times when i was distracted by the lack of noise i realized that i was getting more work done then normal. Through this assignment I came to believe that a life with out media would be.....one hundred percent different. But me doing it for 12 hours (kind of) isnt really a good depiction of how it would be for an entire life. Its apparent to me that at least for a couple hours you get more work done....but come tomorrow Ill have pandora back up and running.
