You have heard the term hands free? No, maybe unplugged may be a better term. Basically being in the moment and letting go of daily distractions of your phone, social media, emails. I am not saying give up, perhaps takes more breaks. However, if you are feeling compelled to give up, you can do that as well. Using technology everyday seems like must in our lives and it has great benefits. Technology has also allowed us to create an unhealthy attachment for us and sometimes we need to put it down, walk away and take a break. Easier said than done, I know. Well, I love this infographic as a guide to unplugging. Please read it as it explains why, how and tips on how you can unplug just a little everyday that will not make you feel as if you having a caffeine withdrawal.
What will you do to hand free today?
I think it’s so important to unplug! It seems as if everyone is constantly on some gadget or other, people are constantly on their phones! Good post!
I unplug every Saturday evening while we have family movie night. It’s the time I spend with my family and not work.
These are all great tips! I could stand to implement a few of these….especially when I take some time off
I have the do not disturb enabled on my phone. I still get crappy sleep, but that’s from a crappy bed. We all need to detach from time to time. I had a great time being detached this weekend.
I know unplugging is needed but I feel kind of stressed without knowing what’s going on on my social media
Technology is everywhere. These are great tips to reset ourselves so we can do as we were intended to do–interact on a personal level with ourselves and those we love.
Yes, I completely unplug and have social media vacations.
Awesome post under the circumstances we all live these days & I agree it is very important to unplug. Everyone of us gets lost in to the Social Media world & rarely spend time with the loved ones.
I unplug every chance I get but someone taught my mom how to text and if I don’t answer right away, she either calls my home phone or comes to check on me. I’m going to shoot my sisters for teaching her how to text :).
