Day 5 of the 'no news' experiment

I am now starting to feel slightly disconnected from the mainstream news events.

It's a little like when you go on holiday and only see the news through the medium of the occasional three day old newspaper flown into the resort.

Now the positive changes are becoming more apparent; I am getting stuck into some tasks that were continually being pushed to the back of the queue and have reclaimed at least an hour of time each day.

The results are positive enough that I plan to continue the experiment and report on what I find.
