In the last few months I have noticed an interesting trend in my behaviour: I put my phone in flight mode almost every weekend now. From Friday evening till Monday morning I don’t read/watch any whatsapp, e-mail, news and social media.
Because in those days I don’t let in any new online information (or any new problems that need to be solved) the amount of clarity regarding what needs to have my focus right now in my company and in my life increases massively.
And not only that: the feeling is extraordinary! It’s so much easier to live in the present moment with myself and my loved ones when there are no distractions.
It does require that you schedule your gatherings before the weekend (or only turn off your mobile data so that you are still able to call). And of course if your business is running 24/7 you need to organize some things around you.
If you are someone that is never offline: it might be worth it to try it out for just 1 day…
Curious to your thoughts!
