Keep Technology from Taking Over Your Life

Priorities: mindfulness, meaning, and wisdom

1. Make deliberate choices about how much time you spend reacting to communication from people instead of pursuing your interests.


2. Box out time to put technology away; plan for specific times when you won’t engage with technology in any way.


3. Remember: the most precious thing you can give someone is your presence is your undivided attention without allowing your cell phone or other devices to interfere.


4. Be mindful of your reasons for connecting to technology. What is your purpose?


5. Get the most important things done and let go of the rest.


6. Build some downtime into your schedule.
