Do you feel that lifting your world everyday is just too much? Is it cement boots on your feet? Technology is designed with the purpose of freeing us from the travails of the mundane, but anyone over 40 is saying, "how can I learn Facebook, respond to others' blogs, post on my own blog, sell at least one house in Durham, NC each month, take care of my aging mother and mow the yard.
I say, take the phone off the hook at least one hour per day. Close your door and focus on just one thing. Or plan to make three phone calls to important contacts. Or read a book that enlightens or delights.
Your preferences and your piece of mind are important to your productivity and your happiness. Technology is wonderful, but once in a while have it take a back seat. We need to be life-time learners and embrace change; but remember that personal time, focus and personal contact get the job done.
