So, I have made the decision, and it’s time to get on with it (well, Monday… I’ll start Monday. That’s not procrastination, that’s preparation). I am going to disconnect for 90 days to truly work on myself. Don’t get me wrong, I have been working on myself for a very, very, very long time. And I have made a lot of progress in a lot of areas. I am not stating the same refrain this time. No more ‘here we go again’. I am leveling up.

I heard the most amazing thought at a conference a few months ago – Who are you Uninterrupted? The thought has stuck with me. And I’ve been creating a variation on that theme in my mind – Who am I without some of the social/worldly constructs that have interrupted who I used to be, what I could have been, and who I will be? I’m about to find out (to the extent that I can in a 3-month period of time). I have this feeling that I am really going to like the me that I will be at the end of 3 months uninterrupted (I do like the me that I am now, but you know there’s always vast room for improvement no matter how much progress you make).

What will it look like? I’m still figuring it out (and that’s ok. I mean, it’s my own personal experiment. There really aren’t rules, other than the ones I set for myself. I’ve got time to try a few things out.) I do know that I am deactivating my Instagram and Facebook accounts for the duration of the 90 days. I’m cutting out television viewing and limiting extraneous social outings. I will focus time on Bible study, reading, establishing and implementing specific morning, afternoon, work, and evening routines, and will intensify my health progress. I will dedicate time to service and supporting others (got to use personal improvements to help as many others as possible after all. What’s the real point otherwise.) For me, this is not an electronics detox. I will still respond to texts, use the internet for personal development, and check, write, and respond to emails (I use electronics for work and other things daily. That detox would be extra difficult at this point in life.) I will limit my time on electronics though.

I will have to reflect on, and readjust this experiment as I progress (just being realistic). I figure this (and my personal journal) will be a great place to document and possibly inspire someone else to level up.

Reassess, Recommit, Reset, Rebrand, Reignite, Reflect (my working motto for the next 90 days. Maybe I will make a t-shirt. Definitely some type of poster… a sticky note? It will be written somewhere :))

Who are you uninterrupted?
