Importance

Posted by Clifford under Business

I’ve added something to my schedule.  Something which completely shocked friends and family.

One day per week, I completely unplug.

No computer, no internet, no television, no radio.  The outside world could fall completely apart and I would be clueless.  Publishers Clearing House could announce I’m the next $21 million winner and I wouldn’t know.

While it may be a detriment to my online business, I don’t care.  I need some mental time to myself and taking care of me.

During this unplug, we go hiking.  Laguna Niguel, Crystal Cove, Aliso Viejo . . .

The amazing aspect is that by about 5 in the afternoon, my head is amazing clear.  My brain isn’t being bombarded with messages, information, opinions . . . it’s great!

    Yay! Well done :)

  2. Steph Said,

    I’m seriously considering doing the same thing.

    Do you do it on the same day each week, or just play it by ear?

    Stephs last blog post..Mmmmmm….. The Sweet Taste of "I Told You So."

  3. Clifford Said,

    Play it by ear.

    When I see the weekend stacking up, I start shifting all my items to either fall on Saturday or Sunday. Whichever day becomes free becomes my unplug day. Yesterday (Saturday) was my unplug day. Next weekend, I already know Sunday will be my unplug day. :)
