Technology is an inevitable part of even the slowest of modern lives. This podcast, news sites, social media, blogs, forums, videos… even if you’re being intentional it can (and will) be overwhelming at times.
This week Ben and Brooke talk about what we all stand to gain by disconnecting regularly and why it’s so important to reconnect with what matters, without the distracting blare of notifications and devices vying for our attention.
The biggest question we face though, is how? How do we learn to untether ourselves from our devices when the expectation is that we are always on call?
Brooke talks about the important first step of understanding what we stand to gain by having more in-person connection (things like time, humanity, action and peace) as well as the boundaries she and Ben have established at home.
Some of the simple boundaries they talk about include:

screen-free bedrooms
no screens at the table
pockets of screen-free time every day (the first and last hours of the day, for example)
