TAKE A TECHNOLOGY BREAK

TAKE A TECHNOLOGY BREAK

 

What would happen if you didn't use your computer, fax machine, cell phone, e-mail or electronic gadgets for a full day? Well, the recent power failure indicated we would take time to actually speak to one another, be helpful, exhibit creativity and make the most of a bad situation. If the blackout had been planned, would it have relieved stress as well? It makes you think that a periodic break from technology might not be a bad idea.

 

IDENTIFY YOUR PRIORITIES

 

If money were no object, 43% of the respondents would travel and 29% would spend time with family and friends. It usually doesn't take much money to spend time with family and friends. Have you identified what's important to you? And if so, are those priorities reflected in your planner?

 

BEING KIND COULD BE A TIME SAVER

 

Studies have shown that helpful people live 2 ½ times longer than ungiving people. That figure seems extreme, but even a small extension of lifespan is a significant gift of time.

 

TIME FOR EXERCISE

 

If you don't have time for that daily walk, suggests the following: Drive your car to the far end of the office parking lot and walk, use the stairs instead of the elevator, and bring your lunch to work and use the extra

time to take a walk.

 

WHEN VACATIONING, TAKE YOUR MIND ALONG

 

When you take a vacation, leave your office work behind. It makes no sense to get away from it all and then take it all with you.
