The Importance of Establishing a Digital Free Zone

Technology and The Entrepreneur: a classic drama about Frenemies in the 21st century. While relying on devices helps keep us on-task and in-touch, it also has the power to turn a digital user into a digital abuser.

So today we’re going to ditch all the drama with my surprisingly simple small business slice. Less than two minutes will help you focus on how to use technology—without getting used by it.

As an entrepreneur and a geek, I love technology. But I also understand the importance of limiting—from time to time—my exposure to it.

Why is this important? Well, first of all, we want to build relationships with others. And also, it’s important for our brains to take a break and have a place to be a little creative.

Where can we do this? Well, we can do this any place that we want to designate—our dinner table, a particular room in our house, an outside digital free zone.

When can we do it? Well, really whatever schedule works to you. Have a set day, set hour where you’re not going to do anything related to the glowing screen.

And who can benefit from this? Well, pretty much everyone.

I encourage you to share in the comment section below what your plan is for creating a digital free zone.

Also, if you’ve got any questions you’d like me to answer in a future video, ask that in the comments section as well.

Thanks for watching. Now protect that zone.
