I want to dedicate this post to reminding tech workers to spend less time on-screen and more time with family. While this may sound self-explanatory I see that people are dedicating too much of their time to their professions and research so they are glued to their screens as a result.
It is a good practice to spend some time away from devices and spend time doing the things you love outside of technology, one such important activity is spending time with family. If your family won't reciprocate the same gesture here are a few tips to ensure that they do:
- Silent Mode
- Instruct your guests to silence their phones.
- Change the Wi-Fi PassWord
- If people ignore your polite request to do so then you can temporarily change the Wi-Fi password to make sure that they won't use their devices in your presence.
- Secure Gaming Consoles
- Hide gaming consoles and anything else that has access to games.
- Confiscate Devices
- Pass around a box to collect all devices to make sure that guests will not be able to use them.
These are just a few tips to ensure that family time is well spent and not spoiled by technological devices. While we do want to make sure that the atmosphere is tech-free it should be done in a manner where it does not come off as strict.
