How often do you look at your phone per day? Or maybe start with how often do you look at your phone per hour?
We have become so addicted to checking our cell phones, emails and Facebook messages constantly. Myself included.
Do you answer emails or text messages immediately after you receive them? Do people get upset or worried if you don’t respond immediately?
Do you go for a morning walk or workout and read your emails?
I am on a mission to become less wired and get “disconnected” more hours of the day…then focus more on what I am doing at the time or who I am with instead.
My new goal is to put my phone in my purse while driving so I don’t see the messages flash on the screen and get distracted.
Also I am not going to respond immediately to messages if I am in the middle of something or with someone… my response can wait (and should wait) when I am focused on what I am doing.
When I am at home I put my phone on the charger or leave in the other room. I really don’t look at my phone much when at home especially at the end of a “work” day and when I haven’t seen my husband all day.
Before I am getting ready for bed, I do my best to put my phone in the kitchen and disconnect. Pre-bed time goals are to read my book and not use my Ipad or use my computer.
Make sure you leave quality time to spend with your family and focus on them… which means leave your electronic devices in the other room and focus on the people you are with!
What are some tricks, changes and improvements you can do to become less wired and disconnected?
