Sadly this is how consuming social media and apps can be on our 'smart phones'. I can't actually picture my life without my phone, it does bring so many conveniences, but like anything there need to be boundaries.
In came the new rule, The 8:00pm Rule.
Simple really, after 8:00pm, no phones, computers or social media hosting device. Just me and my husband. Getting back to snuggling on the couch for mid-week movie night, heading out for dessert, doing a body balance class at the gym.
So far, this rule has been great, it has forced me to create new habbits, for example, I now wake earlier to blog in the mornings - which is when my mind is refreshed and recharged (meaning less time staring at the screen).
Do you feel your life is being dominated by technology? Have you taken action to win your life over and get back to good old fashioned communication with real humans??

I do need to cut back.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it just feels like there is sooo much noise and nooo peace ;o)
Have a lovely evening,

I agree Tania, it can be so addictive!

Boy do I need to impose a similar rule. I am much too attached to my computer and my smart phone. I continuously tell myself that it's because I'm "building my brand" but it's still very unhealthy. There's a blurry line between work and me time at the moment, but it needs to be clearer. Thanks for the great reminder! x
ReplyDeleteHi Kimberely, especially as a self employed person, that line can be totally blurred and you can be a little hard on yourself, not giving yourself enough 'me' time.
DeleteI would love to hear about your rule and your progress.
