I Need a Good Break from Technology
I've often wondered what it would be like to spend an extended period of time without the devices I use to distract and entertain myself.
I'm talking at least two weeks without screens. No smartphones, tablets, laptop or desktop computers, televisions, video game devices, etc.
How could I even make something like that happen? The problem is some of the same devices I use to distract me I also use to work, communicate, travel, manage finances, keep track of my health, and a host of other things.
I work remotely from home. My means of supporting my family requires me to look at a laptop for extended periods of time. But then, inexplicably, I choose to spend much of my free time looking at more screens.
I need a good break from technolgoy. I need a reset. I feel like I've needed one for a long time.
I wish I could have the time to just stop for a good while, and then slowly and intentionally start using technology again and pay attention to how it affects me. Make sure that I'm using it instead of it using me.
But I don't know how to even make that happen.
