A comment on Ask HN: I am sick of being connected, how do you unplug?.
What I usually do is:
* Unsubscribe from all mailing lists and newsletters
* Unfollow everybody on Twitter/Facebook/etc
* Stop visiting HN
* Find something worthy to replace all that free time (book, meditation, vacation, hobby, etc)
After a while (12-18 months), these things start to creep in again. I don't have a long term solution.
I wish I were more disciplined and could keep meditating and having a hobby but computers and acquiring information is too tempting.
