I just crack up when they act like they’re heroes for going without WiFi for a couple of days. LOL

I always think the same thing when I read about bloggers going somewhere with no signal. Some people just can’t switch off I guess.

Yes, please! I hate trying to compete for someone’s attention when we’re supposed to be getting together to enjoy each other’s company.

I gather its all to do with Dopamine – seeking out pleasure and receiving instant gratification.
Turn it off and you’re cutting yourself off from that potential hit! 🙂

I turned off notifications so my phone doesn’t ding on emails. 😉 There’s always a way to manage it and have it do what you want.

Part of the fun for me is being able to share what we’re experiencing.

It has mostly changed my life for the better, but I’m pretty good about knowing when to disengage from it. However, there was that night when my husband and I were out to dinner together and I texted him “Hi”. He got the message.
