I wanted to make thus concept of becoming unplugged as real as possible… And so… I am typing this post from my iPhone while driving to the airport. I am not personally driving. Driving while writing blog posts is not the safest thing in the world. So please excuse any weird words or typos because this is a phone and two awkwardly big thumbs.
I am going to be going on vacation today for the first time in two years. It feels good to be able and tAke a break and know you have an amazing team keeping things going.
I want to briefly talk about the value of unplugging and refreshing when it comes to social media and technology. This will be one of the first times that I am not going to use technology for more than two hours. I am going to completely unplug myself for five days. No phone and no computer. It is going to be wondeful.
There is extreme value in given yourself the ability to unplug from the daily routine. It gives you a new perspective and to be completely honest… You need to unplug when using social media. There comes a point when you become overwhelmed with the proces and you become burned out.
People would rather see you dissapear for 3 days instead of turning out terrible content for months at a time. I hope everyone has a wonderful couple of dAys. I will see you soon!
Kyle, I hope you have a great time and that you are so relaxed and unplugged that you don't see this comment until you return! karen
Amen. Taking a break if even just for a day or two is one of the best things you can do when you find yourself writing subpar content. This applies not only to social media but any type of work. It's amazing what a vacation can do; it boosts your moral and your quality of work. Have a great vacation!
LOL – you are funny Kyle – unplugged for 5 days??? No i-Phone for 5 days??? You can do it Kyle – I'll be pulling for you (although I don't think I would place a bet : )
I am looking forward to the new inspiration and insights you'll be sharing upon your return. You rock dude.
Best,
Mark
