Disconnect. Offline only
For those interested in managing online time and getting ourselves offline regularly, the book <i>Deep Work</i>, by Cal Newport, has some very useful ideas. One that I plan to start experimenting with is the idea of scheduled internet access - allow yourself to get online only at certain times of day. This isn't just for work. Even if you're, say, standing in line at the grocery store, you don't get to pull your phone out and check your email.<p>As the author points out, we've forgotten how to be bored. We need to learn to engage that part of our brain again.<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Work-Focused-Success-Distracted/dp/1455586692/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503497788&sr=8-1&keywords=deep+work" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Work-Focused-Success-Distracted/...</a>
