Set a Cutoff Time to Go Offline for the Day
Checking your email and social media a lot? Sure, your friends’ and family’s latest updates are just a click away, but do you really need to see pictures of your cousin’s latest meal? Let it wait until morning. Set a time to log off and put the phone down. When you cut back on screen time, it frees you to do other things. Take a walk, read a book, or help your cousin chop veggies for their next great dinner.
I think we all need some time off line more often. It’s hard to put the phone down and keep it down. I often mind myself minutes or sometimes seconds later glancing at the screen or wanting to turn it over
Thanks for your comment, Ian. I get your thoughts, it is the same for me. In our digital world, it is easier said than done to put the phone or iPad aside. I’ve found if I get it out of arm’s reach for a few moments, I’m able to concentrate better. It still is a challenge. Have a great day. Stay healthy. Stay strong. Ray
