But it's hard to habituate it. :) I'm still working on it. Thanks for the reminder. What's Xavier? Love & Gratitude, Tina <a href="http://thinksimplenow.com" rel="nofollow">Think Simple.

Something that I hinted to in this article, but perhaps did not fully make clear is how unplugging affected my productivity. As an example, avoiding the computer for a day greatly help me write for this blog. On the actual day I did about an hour of writing with pen and paper, and the words flowed out nicely. Also, in the subsequent days the "drained" feeling I described at the start of the article was gone and I was able to continue to write in a productive manner. Practica: exactly.

When everything these days is inside my computer - work, leasure, news, friends, family, kids - i mean everything, it is so hard to get unplugged. I found it extremely effective to plan ahead these unplugged timeframes. I got rid of mobile device to NOT see incoming mails, and started to breath with full chest. I turned off my email notifications - of ANY kind [there are plenty] and reduced distraction. Less distraction, more productivity, job done faster - more unplugged time :) very very nice post good stuff!!
