I didn’t realize it when I started, but thanks to leap year, I get one more day of not wasting time on the internet via games and mindless browsing. That is probably a good thing, as I have still a lot to get accomplish today! However, I am not going to lie, I was really looking forward to playing a game of Ticket to Ride online. I guess that will have to wait till tomorrow!
Overall, this month has been a good experiment. Of course, I found countless other ways to waste time that didn’t involve gaming or internet browsing. But, overall, I was much more productive as well. So, while I did waste time, I didn’t waste as much time. In the end, I probably spent about an hour a day working on things that might have otherwise been wasted. To, me that is a success.
One of the downsides to this month, was that I really didn’t have all that much to write about. Every now and then I would sit down to write a blog post, and think to myself: “well I haven’t been gaming or internet browsing, but that’s about it…” However, I didn’t necessarily pick this particular fast in order to be able to write about it. I picked it so I could be more productive. But sense I am blogging about my experience, being able to write about it certainly is a bonus!
On a productive note, I used most of my extra time to start learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I already wrote about the tutorial I used for HTML and CSS here. For JavaScript, I used Codeyear. Codeyear is a website that sends you a new lesson each week of the year to learn how to code. This has been a great way to get introduced to writing code. If your interested in learning, it’s not too late to start and get caught up!
I still haven’t totally decided on what I’ll be embracing for the month of March. I have still have a few options that I am mulling over. I’ll be deciding tonight and I’ll post about it tomorrow.
