Detox Tuesdays
No, i'm not a drunk. haha. Well maybe I am a bit too intoxicated by my smart phone! I have a love/hate with it. I hate that I love it so much. haha. Seriously though, this year our family will be doing Detox Tuesdays. That means that all cellular or iproducts are off limits from 5-10 p.m.!!! We are all arguing over who this will be hardest for! The kids say me. I say my husband. My husband says the kids.I actually think it will be hard for all of us, at first. But I do know that this summer when we had Detox Sunday's occasionally, we all enJOYed the break! (although I don't think anyone would admit it!)I just find that more and more, I look up to see all of us hanging out together...but then see we are all totally engaged in our little smart devices. It's so embarrassing! I always think that if we were on a reality show and being taped, I'd be ashamed! But on the other hand, I run my businesses virtually, so I"m always checking in and doing customer support. And of course, I have to play my words with friends. Oh, and I must look at the cute instragram photos my nieces and nephews are always posting.yep. I'm an addict! and I hate it!My friend K sent me an email this week that her hubs sent her:
Researchers are saying that we check our mobile devices every four minutes. That seems like an inaccurate number to me. I think the real number is more like every thirty seconds. Or maybe it’s not even a number. For some, I think the frequency is more like always. Checking smart phones is an addiction.
update... my friend AMQS sent me this video proof that we are doing detox for the right reasons!!! love this. http://www.artthesystem.com/2013/12/after-i-saw-this-i-put-down-my-phone.html
