Taking a Break

I had a great email conversation with Manu the other day where we talked about the digital fatigue he’s been feeling lately. His approach to overcoming it was pretty radical, much more so than I think I’m ready for.

But if I’m honest, I too am feeling my own digital burnout after consuming it non-stop for the last few months while trying to fill my days doing so little during my recovery.

So, I’m going to try my own experiment.

I’ve removed all the apps from my phone and tablet that I tend to fall into when I get bored. The only place I intend to engage with online content is from my personal computer in the evenings or early morning. Sort of a daily digital catch up if you will.

My goal is to limit the amount of time I spend online for personal consumption to an hour at the very most each day for the rest of October, including weekends.

It means you might not see much of me for the rest of the month, but I will always be available through email if you wanted to get in touch about something.

Let’s see how well this goes…
