Technology Fast

Technology is great. I have one of just about every gadget made. But we all know that our technology-enabled, full-on lives can get out of control. To enjoy the power of purpose, you need some “think time.” I book time in my calendar, turn off all my technology and just reflect on where I have been and the challenges and opportunities of the future.

Start slow. Take a one-hour technology fast and you will be amazed at the clarity of mind it will give you!

-- Bob Patton

...a little hard to (for me) to call one hour a 'fast'.  But, the point is still worthy of consideration; what is technology doing to us or, perhaps better said, what are we allowing it to do to us?

One reality of fasting is that it allows us to identify our real need (clarity).
