The iPad is ruining my life.

Not really, but it is keeping from doing other things I want to at night. I have a pretty healthy addiction to reading the news online. And keeping the iPad near while watching tv or lounging at night keeps me reading the news, playing a game or reading comics.

This time used to be spent drawing, reading, or playing video games; focusing on one thing at a time with the tv or music on for background noise. I generally don’t watch just tv or a movie.

But now I fill that time with the iPad. So my New Years Resolution this year is to put the iPad down more. Get back to spending my time with books, sketchbooks, puzzles and Sam. Basically spending that time more productively.

How I will quantify that as a success or failure I don’t know. But it’s a good resolution I think.

Coming up next I will review my resolutions from last year.
