checking social networks, instant messengers and news aggregators for many
turned into an obsession akin to neurosis. No sense from this: Monitors virtual
space, we do not become happier or more confident and fluent swallowing the
next "10 ways to become a better" does not raise the level of our
development. Daniel Seeberg in his books "The Digital Diet "explains
how to get rid of Digital addiction once and for all.
Tell
me honestly:
·
Does
it ever happen that you have a desire to get a smartphone during an important
conversation?
·
Have
you ever felt that an event has happened for real, until you wrote about it in
"Facebook" or "Twitter"?
·
Can
a caller or a vibrating cell phone to tear you away from anything?
·
Walking
on the sidewalk, you look right and left, or up and down, picking up a message
on your phone?
·
How
often do you see the back of your child or spouse (wife) against the background
of a video game?
·
Do
you feel anxious, if not long off the Internet?
·
Does
it ever happen that all members of your family are in one room, but do not talk
to each other because everyone is busy with any device?
If
most of the questions the answer is yes, then here are some exercises that can
be useful to you.

Select
the day to minimize the digital terrain. Remove the tab, which is not in use,
clean the mail from old letters or contact list. Get rid of unnecessary noise.
You will feel stronger, not only because, as a result of get out of the
quagmire, but also because it will make the decisions on what technologies to
get rid of and what - to leave.

Revise
the tariff plan for your smartphone. Every month we get a bill from the
operator and often ignore the opportunity to change or adjust the rate to suit
your style of life. Look at the terms of the tariff line by line and determine
what can be corrected in accordance with their needs and habits. For example,
the unlimited tariff is good in terms of saving money, but the temptation to
send infinite SMS can deal damage to you in the sense that they will be
replaced with a real conversation. Think about the fact both the financial and
social point of view.
