Digital Overwhelm

Digital Overwhelm Have any of you ever suffered from digital overwhelm?   I know I have.  There are so many new gadgets, blog posts, online programs, videos and Facebook updates to keep track of that you feel like you will miss something if you take a break. It will all still be there when you come back.   Trust me.   If you have ever watched a daytime soap opera, you understand exactly what I mean.  You could stop watching a show for a year and still get caught up in a day or two on whats going on.   In essence, you didnt miss much. Sometimes its good to take a break from the digital and just hang out with friends, relax at a movie, or read a good book.   It will give you a break from the constant flurry of activity and then you can come back to it with fresh eyes and perspective.   I took the weekend off from Facebook, Twitter and everything else.   I only came online to write this blog post.   It feels good and it made me realize that I need to make a habit of taking a break from the online world. How about you? Do you ever feel pressured to stay on top of social media and the Internet?   How do you take a break?
