I have been thinking lately that, for purely experimental purposes, I should try various weeks without x. We only get about 3,900 weeks in our lives (if you lived to 75-years-old, that is) so why not spice a few of them up? I’m hoping that, although the theme of these weeks is deprivation, it will actually lead to new things – to more. Here are a few ideas for “weeks without” I’ve been wanting to try:
- a week without meat
- a week without driving
- a week without social media (might lose my mind; might have time to write a novel)
- a week without TV (will have to do this before Christmas movies start up)
- a week without processed foods (I’d probably starve)
- a week without complaining
- a week without texting
- a week without alcohol (I’ve done this one before though, of course)
- a week without going out (including unnecessary errands)
- a week without caffeine
- a week without spending money
I can also think of quite a few good inclusive-themed weeks, but I’m going to stick to this for now. Starting today, I will be having a meat-free week. This one should be one of the easiest, but it will be interesting to raise my awareness of the impact my carnivorous lifestyle has on me.
