Five simple things not only to get your day back but to get your life back amidst all the distraction that is ripping you from the magic of the moment from your relationships and frankly, from your ability to really achieve things that are significant. We have to get our day back.
How do we do that?
1. Don’t check email the first hour of your day. When you do check it, have an intention for how long and what must be accomplished. The inbox is nothing but a convenient organizing system of other people’s agendas. So, beware jumping into the sinkhole that is your inbox during the first hours of the day – it can only lead to a reactive life. Instead, stretch or workout, think, eat well, then sit down and plan your day as if your time were as valuable because it is.
2. Don’t look at TV, social media or email 90 minutes before bedtime.
3. Walk outside 30-45 minutes per day without your phone.
4. Take several “digital diet” days per month, where you don’t look at anything digital whatsoever.
5. Don’t look at your phone during meals or when interacting with a human.
