I've taken similar actions, but the specifics are quite different. I don't have a phone - neither mobile nor landline. I have a Skype phone number, but I don't always have it open, and I don't always answer it even when it is. I don't watch TV, though I will occasionally download things that were shown on TV. I'm online a lot, but I don't use Myspace, Facebook or twitter. I don't even see the point of the latter.
I think it's becoming increasingly important to make careful decisions about time-consuming activities. Don't multitask too much. Make an extra effort to focus on depth over breadth.
Edit: it may be that the central theme here is control over how my time is used. TV ties the user to a specific time schedule. Phones are synchronous while email is asynchronous. The big social sites seem to be focused on wasting time more than anything else.
