I'm an Addict

If the first step is admitting I have a problem then I have a problem. Now what?

I’m on vacation this week; you know what vacation is, right? It’s that cultural ritual that says thou shall not work, giving your mind that required time off so it can relax into a zen like state and give you the necessary recharge so we can again work like the obsessed maniacs we have all become.

The problem is I have yet to stop returning emails let alone turn off my iphone, and as you can see now, this blog is being written on my MacBook.

I have issues!

It would seem I am incapable of getting unplugged. So, I ask you, my AR family, no I plead: Help ME! I need intervention and I need it now.

I await your response.

Darrin, It could be worse..you could be watching streaming video of rebcsf while on vacation and blogging and tweeting:)

I have the same addiction! Its so hard with wireless being available everywhere. I'm not sure where you are but put your computer and phone in your room (if your in a hotel) and get outside!

It's hard to turn it off when we're so used to going all the time. I hope now that you've written this, you'll be able to relax a bit!

I think you will find many people in our industry that share your addiction, I know I do. It is a business and a lifestyle. As for me, its the best gig I know

I'm the same way. I live on my phone for everything. I can never get disconnected.

I know the feeling sometimes it is hard to just let go and relax but we all need a little R&R enjoy your vacation.

I'm still hung up on the vacation part... What's that again?

First step: Turn off the electronics! :)

You are asking a bunch of blogging addicts for help?! You are looking in the wrong place! LOL

Darrin, it's all of those cute Mac products. They certainly don't help me to stay unplugged when I go on vacation!

Years ago someone told me we really have to learn to manage our free time because technology will make our lives so easy that we will only work a few days a week. I would like to shoot that person! What a joke, technology allows us to work 24/7. I really have to force myself to unplug. The soul needs rest!
