Take a “Tech-Free” Break
I remember when everyone around me got their first cell phones. I thought, I’m not getting one of those. They’ll probably even feel obligated to answer it in the restroom! Fast-forward a year to my first cell phone, the color of eggplant and roughly the size of a small paver. I know I’m not the only one who occasionally takes a call in the restroom…or takes my iPad into Corner Bakery, or holds up a conversation to text someone else.
