I feel the same! I can get really antsy, watching the clock for the end of the hour because I ALWAYS have something to do that requires my phone.

Amazing how hard it is let even LET myself have an hour of doing things that don’t require the phone. And they are the really rich parts of my life. The real, in my face parts – spending time with my wife and son, spending time with MYSELF for goodness sake.

I seem to get cut off of those things that benefit our soul by technology. It breaks the real connections.

The struggle is real! I think the big benefit here comes not from disavowing technology altogether, but finding way to not have it find its way into all parts of our life.

Technology is good, it does a lot. But it also gets in the way of a lot. I think of this as a way to get clear on where that line is.

I was wondering how it would be helpful in focusing me to attain my goals. I’m so glad I tried it! I am amazed how much I got done in my one hour – I journaled, set up what my perfect week and day might look like, figured out what to make for dinner tonight and appreciated not being interrupted by anything (except my puppy asking for some attention!). I couldn’t believe how many times my brain tried to get distracted by my phone. (Oh let me look that up on the web, let me just text that to so and so, let me google that, what time is it?!?
I don’t know if this will get easier with practice but I’m definitely going to continue with at least one golden hour each day.
