That's great. It's nice to sort of reset your systems every so often.

I do an annual news-fast for the month of October. I still interact with people online, but I stop following current events. I've never felt like I really missed out on anything important, since I still hear about really big events like the attack in Israel last year.

I chose October because it's the month leading up to US elections and our news becomes even more purely propaganda than it normally is.
