I know we’ve all been there.
I know we’ve all said it.
I’m going to “un-plug” and have a tech-free day/weekend.
Well this weekend – I actually did it! Almost. I didn’t use my computer ALL weekend.
I didn’t work – I didn’t write any blog posts – I didn’t even go on FACEBOOK.
Yeah, it happened. And it was pretty darn fantastic.
We played outside, got the grass cut, went a local nursery and looked at all the flowers and visited the pet store, twice. I stayed up late with my hubby vegging on the couch watching Netflix and just relaxed.
I know it won’t be like this every weekend because things come up last-minute – work comes up last-minute, etc. But it is now my goal to make our weekends as tech-free as possible.
When is the last time you had a tech-free day?
Never. I even brought my laptop with my to San Diego in April because I can’t go for more than an hour.
Really?! LOL ๐
I need to get better at this. I struggle so much with how much time I’m online! It’s so easy to constantly have my phone in my hand or the computer close by! It really takes away from life sometimes and I know I’m addicted. It is BETTER on the weekends, but I know it could be a lot better!
I am going to aim to do at least one day a week tech-free – it was so nice to step away from everything for a bit!
What is a tech-free day? LOL I’m thrilled you were able to do it – I’m not sure I’m woman enough LOL
You can definitely do it! Just plan it – you will love it! ๐
Good for you! Sometimes you need those days to just unwind. I try to take every Sunday off since that is my hubbys only real day off from work. We usually do fun things with the kids as a family.
That sounds so nice! Being a blogger can make you want to work 24-7 which is what my problem is. There is always more to do and the internet never sleeps. SO, sometimes it’s nice to just take a break!
Our family could definitely use tech free weekends. We may just have to have one this weekend…maybe!
I just wrote a post about this today too! Except, it’s not really a tech free weekend, it’s our nightly rule for family time. I couldn’t agree more! Great minds think alike, go us! lol
I try to make every Saturday a tech free day. The only thing I use my computer on Saturday for is playing music while I clean or to watch movies with son. It is so fun.
Going tech free is ALWAYS refreshing, but when I go back to it, I feel way behind. Still…it’s worth it because it does feel so relaxing to not do it.
