disconnect

I realized in this exercise that it is nearly impossible for me to disconnect completely. I blame this on my kid. I am not with her all the time and if I am not with her I always make sure that my phone is accessible. That being said I did spend 24 hours with more conciseness around the idea of technology and disconnecting. I actually do this quite regularly. I blame this on my kid too. When I am with her I try to make sure that I am present and not staring at a computer screen finishing homework, texting, or obsessively checking my email. I do a couple simple things to help me with this. I never bring my phone anymore when I walker her to school, try to leave it in the car when I bring her to her extracurricular activities, and when we are home I put my phone on silent. I am not always successful but i try.
