Thank you for the reminder for the need to rest and take a break from those things that are all to consuming of our time. I use to step away from my tech once a week, but over time that practice was lost. It is definitely time to reinstate it.
Thanks, Geoff. You know, I write these things sometimes feeling like, oh, everyone knows this stuff already. And we do. But maybe it's all in the reminding...
I'm not sure I've ever done an entire day without looking at some sort of screen, but I'm looking much less often these days. Deliberately staying away for a day would be an interesting challenge. Also, congrats on training for a half marathon. My running days are behind me (for now), but the half was always just the right amount of challenging for me. Good luck!
Dross. Such a great word.
I'm only a 1/3 the way through buT I am ready raving and recommend this book! Definitely speaks to these concerns https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57933306-stolen-focus
That looks very good -- stolen seems to be the right word...

Thanks, Deborah, on both (and all) fronts. I'm challenged, that is for sure!
