Unplug for a Day
Just the other day was National Unplugging Day. Would you be able to completely go off the grid for 24 hours? Many people would probably go into shock and experience anxiety symptoms because it is hard to just let go of your internet phone services and constantly being in contact with people. I realize that the demands of the business world is that you have to be available 24/7. There are time when we need to unplug though. Participants are encouraged to put away their phones, tablets, laptops and other Internet-connected doodads from sunset Friday to sundown Saturday for a digital sabbath. The time might instead be used for quiet reflection, communing with nature, reconnecting with family or friends, focusing on a project and even getting a rare, uninterrupted night's sleep. How awesome would that be?! Just let the important people know that you are going off the grid before you do. They might report you missing otherwise.

It would be great not to have to worry about emails and internet fax and missed calls for a whole day. More people should try to embrace going off the grid for a bit.
ReplyDeleteIt might be harder to not use the mobile applications. They are so prevalent and used for many different things.
ReplyDeleteI would love to forget about the constant flow of emails and phone calls for a bit. Just shutting off the mobile applications would be hard.
ReplyDeleteSome mobile applications like the gaming applications waste so much time. We can save so much time.
