During a normal work week, I get home around 5:30 and I put my son down for bed around 7:30. That means I have a maximum of 2 hours per day to foster one of the most important relationships I have. It also means that I have a whopping 22 hours a day to check email, facebook, twitter, read, sleep, etc.
Even though I have “all day” to check email and just two hours with my family, it’s hard for me to turn work off when I get home. I often find myself reaching for the phone in my pocket, believing that the world out there is somehow more important than the world right in front of me.
So for that window, I’ve decided to just pack up my devices where I can’t get to them. When I pull in the driveway, I leave my computer in my car or in the laundry room that sits between our garage and family room. I also like to leave my phone in there as well, although I keep it if I know I’ll be taking my son on a walk or doing something where I might truly need it.
This is the text message decoder that I made available to you during our opening game. I utilized the content from netlingo.com and http://www.dtxtrapp.com
Here is a basic tutorial for facebook that I did in the Spring. Facebook just made some changes in the last month so some of this may not be up to date but it's still helpful hopefully. ENJOY.
