I have ‘technology fasts’ built into my Best Year Plan.
I started putting my tech fasts in my monthly plan at the beginning of the year because I was finding myself on my computer way too much. And I was finding it hard to wind down because of my voracious consumption of computer.
Now I (usually) close my laptop a few hours before bed each night and enjoy my ‘Sacred Sunday’ that is free of technology for most of that day.
It’s delicious.
Here’s how my sacred Sunday works: I will often be online in the morning of my Sacred Sunday and then by 10am off to yoga I go and don’t touch the computer again until Monday morning. Sometimes I don’t drive my car on my Sacred Sunday and will ride my bike to my favorite grocery store for lunch and groceries. It’s heavenly and puts me in the groove of human being again.
Having my technology fast built into my plan reminds me to make it happen.
