Go a day without email

Sometimes pleasure and happiness results from the absence of something such as pain, or email.  An excellent analog activity involves cutting yourself off from email for at least 24 hours.  Normally I can't do this, but thanks to the greed of American cell phone companies, it is fairly easy to cut yourself off from the Net when traveling abroad.  In place of email, try walking aimlessly or read a book (a real analog book made of atoms and not bits).  You'll be surprised how enjoyable the absence of cyberspace can be.
