Thanks John. I think your vacation qualifies as a digital detox. I did the same and don’t recommend complete disconnection. And also thanks for the nice words on my paint job. Yeah, they have us wrapped around their fingers but I am ok with that!

I may have to try a full detox, although I just did a semi-detox on our 3-week vacation in Europe. By that I mean, the only two activities I regularly engaged in “digitally” were backing up our photos to dropbox each night, and then posting a single picture each day on FB with a short description of what we were doing. I ended up with tons of comments and likes on the vacation posts, and lots of in-person engagement this week on re-entry. I tried a few tweets, but it just didn’t seem right and I can’t explain it. BTW – nice pink room for your daughter. It’s amazing what our little girls can get us to do, huh?

Thanks Eric, electrical is one thing I wont touch!

I semi-disconnect over the weekends. I actually kind of shift from Twitter to Facebook a little and engage a little differently but with a lot of the same folks. Now that I think of it, we should be Facebook friends no? Look for a friend request but no pressure if you keep work and “life” separate.

Thanks Rhiannon. I definitely came back refreshed but then out again last week and now I am totally overwhelmed with catching up. :-0

Thanks so much Miguel. I was out last week too but no detox for me. It was technically vacation but I was on emails and calls at least once a day each day. It’s tough!

I somehow always manage to pick up the phone and check all my social media accounts. Ugh! lol I could certainly step away every now and then. I grew up during the time when we played outside and got dirty and enjoyed nature. I want the same for my kids.

Must lead by example!

Great artice by the way and the pink room looks sweet!

If there is truly an immediate need from work, they will get a hold of me. And not through Twitter

I always come back from a break refreshed and ready to re-engage, with some good ideas for new blog posts. When we disconnect from one world, we find there are other worlds waiting, in nature, in friends and family, and within ourselves. Also: good job on the pink bedroom!

Congrats on the new home, hope you are able to move in soon!

I almost completely disconnect from social media every weekend. No autopilot posts and I rarely check Twitter, Facebook or work email. I may need a longer detox soon, but consistently disconnecting for most of the weekend has definitely helped me keep my sanity.
