Too often when we have down time we go straight to the computer or television. A short 5 minute break becomes an opportunity to pull out the iPhone or Blackberry and check email, text, twitter, or in some way stay engaged with one’s online life. This addictive behavior feeds our high-paced, high-stress lifestyle and leaves us little time to relax and recharge. Perhaps instead of reading your friend’s Facebook updates, consider cutting back on screen time and pick up a good old fashion book.
