Summer To-Do List: 7 Easy Ways to Unplug From Technology & Enjoy the Summer Season Relationships Motherhood Tech

Let’s face it; most of us spend too much time connected to our devices. This summer, let’s make a point to unplug, at least a little. 

Technology has improved our lives in many ways, but it can also prevent us from being truly present. This summer, take advantage of opportunities for connection or quiet reflection. Email can wait, social media can wait, but moments may be lost. Challenge yourself to put down your devices and:

• Call a friend or loved one (call, not text!).

• Sit outside and watch the sunset.

• Read a book – the old-fashioned kind! 

• Write a letter (not an email – the old-fashioned kind!).

• Have a picnic dinner.

• Just relax and enjoy your partner.

• Take a walk.

Slow things down a little this summer. Unplug and smell and roses!
