Back from a Blog Break.

Posted on | April 19, 2009 | 1 Comment

Do you ever just tune out?

Stop blogging, stop email (well I did answer 5 messages from my students), hold the tweets, facebook freeze?

What do you have to lose is the big question.

Maybe continuity.

Maybe followers.

Maybe nothing.

What I find whether I take a 7 day or 7 week break is that I fell far more alert to the environments I am in.

Probably because living an eLife keeps you become glued to a machine or device we tend to become more detached from the slower more textured world we live in when we are not totally immersed in that world.

What I find is that the smells, the little things, become far more focused and clear when I am not glued into my eLife.

I am back and looking around and wondering how to straddle the eLife and real life divide without sacrificing anything!

I am still working on it but I do think after 5pm the personal computer and mobile phone are being turned off.

Too much of something can be a bad thing and in the case of our eLives that too much is easy to butt up against really fast.
