Taking a Weekend Offline… Finally
June 12th, 2009 • 2009 Write-off, Personal
This weekend, I’m headed out to a cottage to consult a university group that I was involved in while I was in university. In exchange for my 2 hour session, it’s all expenses paid for this weekend. Pretty exciting to me, as this is on an island.
The reason why I’m really excited for this is twofold:
1) I could really use the break to disconnect. I’m turning my phone off for the entire weekend; something I haven’t done since I was in Cuba in February 2007. While being constantly connected has become part of my lifestyle, I’ve been talking about slowing things down and going dark – now, I’m doing it.
2) There’s something really calming about water to me; being on an island will be a relaxant, and I’m looking forward to running along the beach in the mornings – likely while the others are still asleep.
What about you? When was the last time you were dark from technology? What calms you down?
See you on the flip side.
