Same with me. I’ve had my computer prominently in my living space for my whole adult life. Try doing a prolonged activity that makes computing impossible. I went bike touring for a month a few years ago and felt like I had reconnected with a missing sense of thoughtfulness in the absence of constant interneting. The feeling lasted for a while afterwards. I just wasn’t as enticed by the box of lights with words on it. It’s about time for me to do it again.

Yep, riding a bicycle works great. That's one of my favourite part of bicycle/motorcycle travel too.

do you have fixed days that are computer free? does computer free mean any computer is not used for the whole day (laptop, tablet, phone)?

Not a fixed day, but it's usually after I feel like I've wasted the whole day on the computer. I'll spend that evening finding a place to ride my bicycle or a museum I'd like to see, and generally make it easier to go right out the door.
My computer-free days feel a lot like the old days.
