The need to unplug

Because life does come at you fast you need to learn how to unplug- recharge.
Grant you life does not give us a heck of a lot of time to unplug anymore but it is necessary, even if it is for only a few hours a day. That said a full day or weekend is even better.
Today's technology and demands are making it harder and harder to relax and shut down work but to be productive it is imperative that we do so.
I do believe that will be one of the biggest challenges for the next generation, the 25-35 year olds.
Knowing when to unplug and recharge.
With smart phones and tablets we are all being programmed to constantly check our email and our social media, it is simply a knee jerk reaction now and we find ourselves looking down constantly.
One of the reasons texting and twitter is so popular is it takes a very short span of attention.
Everything in 30 characters or less.
The challenge is learning when to look up and shut down and look around.
Take a deep breath and exhale....you can do it.
Go ahead shit them off......I dare you.
