For 5 minutes everyday, after your morning coffee, sit still BEFORE YOU GO TO THE COMPUTER and watch your breath go in and out. If you start thinking just say "thinking" to youself and go back to the beath. After 5 minutes go check your email and do some tweets. If you feel that expanding beyond the 5 minutes, that's cool, just go slowly. Another good tip is to start a mini-meditation practice.

I usually check email only once on Sundays. You just have to get used to doing it and not worry that you are missing something. It can be very easy to lose hours of "you" time on a day off because you get 1 email that get you rolling on some project or problem. Agreed. I usually check email only once on Sundays.

I chose Sunday's, a natural, “day of rest” that worked for me. I've only done it a few times so far, but it really does help you realize there's more to life than just what's online.

And now that it's cold enough here in Florida, we've enjoyed some fire in a fire pit on the back patio. Reminds you of what else is out there. Great stuff. I recommend to anyone. The fire and the tech sabbath, that is.
