Get a Little Balance in Your Tech Life
This month’s Calm Space topic is one that I can sometimes find hard to achieve - Balance - and when it comes to balancing my digital life then it gets especially hard.
Time is elastic, malliable and stretches very easily when I’m absorbed in my technology. It can be so easy to loose track of time that before I know it hours have passed. Ever had that experience?
Once absorbed in the computer all thoughts about getting up and moving, eating lunch at an appropriate time or completing other tasks that need doing seem to disappear. When I’m doing something I love, learning something new or solving a problem online it’s the only world that seems to exist. And quite frankly there is no balance in that.
So I’m going to keep this article short and sweet this month, because in reading this article you are at your computer and absorbed in techology. There is one sure way to get balance in your digital life - turn it off and walk away!!!!
That’s right … “step away from the technology and put your hands on the wall”!!! Right now is the time to stretch, go for a walk, play with the dog, have your lunch, have a glass of water, or just get out the paper and pen and get creative in an analog way.
Are you still reading? I thought I made it clear to get balance in your digital life you need to turn the technology off. You know what to do just …… [bye]

Great article, Leah. I’d have posted my comment sooner, but I was following your advice.
Leah!
If this worked for you, one whom I know can get sucked into total absorption, then I BELIEVE it will work for me!
I’m going for a cuppa and some planning with pen and paper on what I will aim to achieve today.
Loved the graphic which reinforced your timely message!
Thanks
Joanna
Thanks Angela, Chris and Joanna - Glad that it was a timely message. I know that we all have times where we are way too connected to the technology and if I can be an inspiration to turn it off and walk away all the better.
