Dismissing Distractions
Filed under: Rant
I've had a Crackberry for a couple years. It's been a happy medium between a phone and a laptop and, up until a few months ago, I used it for all of my emailing when I wasn't in front of a computer.
Things became ridiculous. I don't claim to be any busier than the next guy, but when you're thumbing at all hours of the day, all days of the week, something has to change.
I realized that my Crackbery had made me more available to everyone else and less available to the people that really mattered. From my wife and family to friends and God, I can afford to dismiss a few more distractions.
So I shut it off. I no longer use it to receive email. I still have the ability to send email, I just don't receive it.
And so far it's been working really well.
