Technology is fun for me as well as a dangerous gentleman if they start to interfere too much in life and one gets lost in the virtual world. I would like to think that I do not have a dependence on technology, but lied to myself and you. If you sometimes suffer from similar conditions (and you can admit it), here are the tips that work on me. And perhaps even before the extended weekend will help you.
The first and crucial step is to get your thoughts out of your mind. And, above all, the tasks we did not accomplish before the day's finish. The unfinished tasks remain in the head as a reminder of how we sometimes do not (or rather, still) miss. That's why I try to get all these tasks out of my head on paper / iPhone / computer and plan (realistically) when I finish them (ideally after return) on Friday before the weekend or the day before vacation.
The primary goal of this exercise is to stop carrying this burden in my head, getting to the front, enjoying free time and not worrying what awaits me after Sunday.
Plan your free time
If you're afraid of frequent phone-watching, social networking, and other malfunctions of today's techno, try to plan your free time as well as the working one. If we have free time, we're more likely to slip away from frequent Facebook or Instagram timing because we have no better fun. If you do not know what time to fill in, get your kids and you will be completely worried.
Did not help above? Try setting priorities, writing what's important to you and what you'd like to do instead of looking at your phone. Then create your own wallpaper on your phone's desktop that will include everything you've written. The trick is to see this wallpaper every time you take your phone and wake it up. There is a chance that you will re-evaluate the next step, postpone the phone and take some of your priorities.
Uninstall Facebook, install Freedom
Still nothing? Okay, it's getting serious, it's gonna be a bigger caliber. Try to make the technology as complicated as possible, or add obstacles before you get to the social network or application. Uninstall Facebook and start using the web interface. First, you save your battery (believe me), while working with the web is not as comfortable as a native application, so you can get frightened watching your friends' fantastic lives sooner, and so you get back to reality faster. When you need a stronger whip, install the Freedom app for Mac, PC, iOS, and set up time zones when your social networks will not work.
In conclusion: Buy a second phone
If you've come here, you have the last choice. And that's to buy a second phone just for the weekend and vacation. Ideally, a stupid model without applications and access to the web. With buttons. Where can you play only Sada. And perhaps you will be thrilled before the smartphone that you take out of the drawer this weekend.
Nice post. Upvoted and following!
