I believe that if I do not unplug from the urgent demands of job, kids, dogs, yardwork, etc., then I never get to the important things of making sure I am heading in the right direction.

I have been trying to accomplish this more and more. The challenge I'm facing is finding "quiet" time at NLS. I'm attempting to get-away from the office at least once a week to unplug. The weekends are starting to open up more for my wife and I so we're unplugging more as well. I've noticed that things still move and get done if I'm not around!! :-) Very well stated David.

Since I got my Blackberry I've become way too connected. I'm taking a walk tomorrow and leaving it all behind! Sage advice. Since I got my Blackberry I’ve become way too connected.

I am all for this and hope it can become a regular practice. Texting/FB have become such a regular daily thing that we sometimes need permission to walk away and enjoy other things :) Thanks for the reminder David.

I LOVED it-when it was all over. I have to admit it was hard, I continually wanted to check my facebook and twitter, as I do about 10 times a day, but resisted to urge to take my phone off airplane mode. For all my anxiety about what I am missing, and who might be waiting for my response to what, I found that I had not indeed missed anything. For all that I learned only that I am horribly addicted to twitter, facebook, email, text message, and anything means of communication. Thanks for the encouragement to unplug! Brad Hey Dave,

My wife and I camped on the east side of Mt. Rainier for three days. I had no reception, and we we're in the middle of buying a house. When I got back, people were mad at me. But everything worked out. It was so worth it. I really proved to myself and my wife that our marriage is sacred, and others will have to wait. Just wanted to say I agree.
