I consider myself lucky that my cell phone doesn't work when I'm at work - I get no signal. So if someone wants to reach me, they have to call or email me. I do still have internet access, but since I'm at work I limit my use of that for personal things. So that's 8 hrs per day with no texts (not that I get a lot of texts), no Facebook (I don't use it at work at all), etc.
I mentioned this on a different thread before, but I remember reading in a metal-related fanzine the editor had a method for buying albums. It was something like for every three new metal albums he bought, be bought one old-school metal album, to make sure he was educating himself on classic metal. I kind of liked that idea, and have been thinking lately that a more disciplined listening "regimen" might be a good idea. Something like, choose 5 albums per month, or maybe three, that you really want to get familiar with, and make sure you listen to each one three times at least. Something like that. Just to sort of counteract the more scattered listening habits I sometimes have.
