It’s June already, and that pretty much means the start of summer and vacation time!
My summer plans include a week at Gulf Shores, Alabama with my extended family, and a trip to my home state of Maryland.
But I look for mini-vacations every day: an early morning run, a power nap, 30 minutes with a good book or getting a lime slush from Sonic (but watch out for the brain freezes).
This summer I also plan to take a technology vacation one day a week. On that day, I won’t use my cell phone or laptop. While I feel a little stressed just thinking about it, I think that on my technology vacation days (I think that they will be on Saturdays) I will learn to enjoy a bit of de-stressing.
I actually got the technology vacation idea from Dr. Brandi Reddick, PharmD. “The Green Pharmacist,” who suggests having technology free days. Dr. Reddick is a certified Green Health Care provider and owner of The Green Pharmacist LLC. Check out her website www.thegreenpharmacist.com for great “green” information.
I challenge you to take a technology vacation this summer too – and I’d love to hear your suggestions for “mini summer vacations.”
