Be the 9 Percent- Unplug

Be the 9 Percent- Unplug Do you have a summer vacation planned? If so, might I suggest you leave your technology behind! We live in a schizophrenic society. Our time is constantly divided between too many to-dos, action items or competing activities. Sometimes we just need to stop the madness. The Facts Data proves that multi-tasking is counter-productive and there is growing evidence that our overuse of technology is zapping our creativity. In this recent survey, only 9% of workers said they would go tech-free during vacation. This is what they report: Lee  Hecht  Harrison  surveyed 639 workers throughout the U.S. via an online poll asking, “Do you unplug on vacation?” The results were as follows: All electronic devices stay home 9% I take my laptop or tablet 15% I take my smart phone 43% I take all my electronic devices 33% The Fix In todays US News World Report article, I talk about how to set expectations so you can have a stress-free vacation and more about the benefits of unplugging! I hope you go have a look! Up in my neck of the woods, we only have two short months to enjoy the warm weather. I hope you will join the 9% who have decided to completely unplug during your upcoming vacation. Id love to know if you think it is possible to disconnect during vacation. Leave a comment.
