Better?
How many of us are making a career out of messaging on our BlackBerry devices? You?
Are we accomplishing more? Or, just doing less faster.
Thomas Jefferson organized the first nation-wide political party in the late 18th Century with nothing more than pen, paper and stamp. Think about that.
True, the nation was smaller back then. Yet, I could have cited the drafting and passage of the Declaration of Independence or a dozen of other pre-digital accomplishments. For Jefferson alone.
OK, I get it. I’m not suggesting anyone try to put the genie back in the bottle. But remember, it’s a choice. Maybe we would be more creative, relaxed, balanced, productive, happier and whatever if we un-plugged more often.
So, quit typing so much. Pick up a pen. Or crayon. Look at a cloud or bird or another person’s face. Try being still.
You might be surprised by what you notice. Or, by who notices you.
