My friends and I recently took a trip to Black Mountain, NC for my best friends Bachelor party. We thought it would be a great idea to get away and have some guy time with no connection to the outside world. Little did we know that our campsite, The Great Smoky Mountain National Forest, was wi-fi ready for all its visitors! We no longer had an excuse for not checking in with everyone, but we still managed to keep ourselves away from the technology for the weekend. It’s harder to get away then you think.

I just watched your TED-talk and – since I am all into building habits in 30-day-challenges – immediately got hooked to the idea of not make it a must to make things stick after 30 days but also leave the fun part there: just experiment, enjoy the experience and see what happens.

I might just write a blogpost about your idea. Unfortunately it will be in German. :)
Cheers and rock on, Matt! ;)
Micha

It actually can be quite relaxing. Everything seems to slow down. You hear more, you smell more. I was sure glad when it came back on though!

As someone who has a lot of experience writing and editing copy for online sources, it’s good to know that someone on the programing / computer tech side of things understands and appreciates the work we do.

I know everyone thinks how did we cope years ago? No doubt in a few hundred years when an amazing invension is made, we will all wonder how anyone coped without this, back in the year 2011!!

I was concerned about the ante-upping among the 30-day challenge community. I’m not sure how I would explain to my wife that I need to go live in a cave for 30 days and eat nothing but grass just to one-up Matt Cutts ;)

What’s up with that Matt??? C’Mon, we all know MyLife.com is Reunion.com with a new face… Why do their results keep topping search ? It’s not like when you click on the link you find VALID information. You only find a page asking you to pay to join. Come on, if Google want’s to seem valid with all their narrowing techniques, they need to get rid of the most obvious exploiters.

I think you have inspired me to create one of my own. It is good to take time out of a busy schedule and really be thankful for the many blessings we have, and often overlook. Great post!
