This past Saturday I made the decision to turn my phone off for several hours in order to get things done.
It was effective and refreshing.
At 9am Saturday morning I quickly scrolled through my apps and email then simply turned my phone off.
I turned on some music and got to work on tasks that needed my attention. I sat down to read. I played and snuggled my animals. I took a nap.
And yes, I did reach for my phone (less than I thought I would) throughout that time I was “disconnected” but I managed to regroup and refocus.
I stayed off the gadget until about 5pm. It was really nice. I think this is definitely something I need to do more often and I absolutely understand why people step away from social media and take breaks. It’s good for us.
What are some of the ways you “disconnect” or “step away” from time to time?
