Last week, I took some time off for the 4th of July holiday.  I made a promise to myself, and others, that I wouldn’t work.  I wanted to make a concerted effort to take a breather, just for a few days.

I made it one day without checking email.  I swear I could hear the buzz of the emails coming in while I slept.  This little exercise got me thinking about how important and healthy it is for us to back away from our smartphones.  When you wish your phone would accidentally fall out of your car window on the freeway, it’s time to rethink your relationship!  With that being said, I’ve decided to take a little break from my iPhone, we’ve been too codependent!   I thought it would be easier, less confrontational if I write the phone a letter.  Below is an excerpt from my “Dear iPhone” letter:

Dear iPhone:

You’ve been great, supportive and loyal, but I think we need to spend some time apart…just for a while.  It’s not you, it’s me, really!  This isn’t goodbye, but rather just a little time for some needed distance.

We’ll always be friends!
