I'm always interested in whatever I can do to not look at my phone.
Besides what I do, I love fishing; I love bringing my children to the forest, getting outdoors in nature. Get outside, people! Stop looking at screens.
I'm not really a child of this '120 TV channels, a billion websites' era. I tried to live that for a long time but recently realized I don't get anything from it. I told myself it was luxury, but it was really only annoying. I'd rather just watch the same 50 movies over and over.
Any excuse to get away from the computer screen is welcome.
I'm trying to call more and text less. I don't want to check my phone 5,000 times a day anymore. It was getting to me. I'm bringing 'old' back.
I try to make a point in my life to leave the cell phone in the car sometimes, to try to unplug as much as possible.
If we could follow the slogan that says,"Turn off the TV and open a good book" we would do something of substance for a future generation.
I deliberately keep myself apart from a lot of stuff; I don't Tweet, I don't do Facebook, I don't blog, and that's largely because I spend my working life staring at a screen and hitting a keyboard, I am trying to cut down on that, not increase it.
I don't belong to any social network, and I don't even message much. In fact, most of the time, I don't even use my mobile phone.
I don't go online, I don't read reviews, I try not to look at anything on the Internet.
I actually have this fantasy of giving up my cell phone.
My goal is a tech-free Saturday.
I'm actually a big fan of turning off my phone and ignoring it for large chunks of the day.
Every day, turn off your phone/email for some part of the day.
I have no television - I hate it.
What I'm doing is trying to get kids to pay attention, to look at the physical world more, and to question everything. I am trying to get kids out of the house and away from screens.
Research shows that when we read words on paper, it reduces our stress levels by nearly 70 percent. We also read more carefully than on tablets or laptops.
I don't watch TV, I don't spend time on the Internet, and I don't party much. I don't text very much, either.
Turn off the TV, turn off the Internet, just go out, and I bet you your life will get better really quick.
