Unplug.

I started to use two phones one smartphone and one dummy phone for messages and phone calls. I stop to google everything. I'm fine to say I don't know and I don't have to get correct answer now. I can live with it. I also started to listen more radio and push to disconnect from internet and computers. I learn to use pen and block to write old-fashion way and it helps a lot.

All this has paid back very well, I learn how to think without interruption, be more creative, talk with people, listen and it removed a lot of stress, pressure and other problems related to information overload and smartphone addiction. I want to continue on that and cut my computer time to less than 4 hours per day (all devices, smartphone, laptop, tablet...).
