How to do it

Put down the phone and step away from anything with a screen. Set a technology-free time for a few hours this afternoon. Take advantage of this time to catch up with your family and friends, cook dinner or play with the kids.

Why it matters

Some people feel as though they are distracted by technology. They have difficulty completing tasks because their attention is divided between so many different things. Others feel as though they can never completely relax, because with the ubiquitous nature of email and instant message, they can be reached by anyone, at any time. Giving yourself a regular, scheduled break from technology can help ease stress and provide time to focus on other important aspects of your life.
