I generally dont like the "persuasive essay" type of blog as is presented here. However there are some valid points. I think the key takeaway from this is not so much about quitting Twitter as it is taking a break from the distractions that take away from your family/work/actual life. I remember having an epiphany of sorts when thinking about how my kids would remember me after they get older. I dont want them to remember a man who was more interested in the rectangle in my hand than I was in them. I want them to remember me being fully engaged with them, and being there for them. Twitter/FB/HN arent a problem unless you let them interfere with your life. If you need to take a month off to get that sort of perspective, great. If not then everything in moderation.
