Suffering from computer dependency

Small Business Blog is moving house today & tomorrow and as my colleage Nick Saalfeld at True Business blog - who's recently moved offices - can testify, it's not an easy thing to do. Two things sprung to mind yesterday which I thought worth sharing (no,don't worry, I won't bore you with the long, long process of selling and buying!).

Firstly, I found myself 'hiding' in my PC - in other words, burying myself in 'important' tasks I had to do and refusing to go home and sort out the mess. It's very easy to get absorbed in the the online stuff and pretend that it's essential. Often it is, but sometimes you've just got to stick your head over the parapet, get your hands dirty and enter the real world again, where people, unlike most machines, don't always run to plan. 

Secondly, I started to panic that I would be without Internet access for maybe even as long as a day.  And then reality set in. Yes, many of us are dependent on our PCs, but they're not yet permanently attached in the way that arms and legs are! The world will not stop if I'm not online for a day.
