How busy are your days?
Do you think it is possible to find any more time in the day?
I recently watched a T.V. documentary on a family and their use of technology. They allowed a special tracking application to be put on their tablets or phones. What surprised me the most was how they blamed technology for interfering in their lives. They believed that the anxiety and distractions with technology were things that they could not avoid.
To give you an idea as to how bad it was in this house, I need to tell you about their 8-year-old son. At times he has his tablet on 11 hours a day. In fact, the bottom line for this young boy is that if he keeps on averaging between 9 and 11 hours per day he will have spent 11 years of his life looking at a screen.
A question; are you in this same boat?
Do you realize that you have choices on how much you use your own technology?
Your choices can determine how busy your days are, don’t they?
This is true. It’s weird how I find I have to consciously turn off a screen or walk away from my laptop and do something without any additional noise. TV time used to be rare and now it seems I’m always in front of a screen due to my job as well. It’s time to go for a walk, do the dishes in silence, play the piano and read an actual book.
