24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week

Product Information

My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war… It's been a literary whirlwind this fall, 2019. It’s felt like I've been living in fast-forward, except during Tech Shabbat, and in those moments connecting with someone at a book signing, stopping to appreciate a note from a reader, seeing the beautiful different combination of friends, family and new people in an audience—all in once place, like a moveable wedding. Milo Pressman develops feelings for his boss Nadia Yassir and becomes alarmed at the way CTU agent Mike Doyle treats her. It's too early to tell, but I think this book has changed my life for the better, and I hope for long. The idea is simple: one day of the week, turn off all screens and electronics to connect with yourself, the people around you and the world. Our desire for connection through the internet has fostered a lot of disconnection. However where some documentaries and people go into fear mongering, Tiffany, founder of the Webby Awards, is more optimistic and proposes a more doable solution. Turning off your screens once a week allows you to connect with yourself and provides a genuine day of rest, whereas with our phones we are always turned on in some way, available 24/7 to reply to people. It also can change how you relate to your electronic devices the other 6 days of the week.

And you are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come. The idea of a digital Shabbos is nice. So is the bit of history Shlain had at the start about other "weeks." That said, the first, if not error, a misstep is there.For by wise guidance you can wage your war, And in an abundance of [wise] counselors there is victory and safety. And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. As someone who has no children, but would like to have kids someday, and has thought about the challenge of raising kids in this screen-heavy era, this feels like an idea that has substance, and if started early enough, would just be part of their life. This is the average height of the waves, 1-2 miles out to sea. The height of the waves can vary. The The sixth season of the American drama television series 24, also known as Day 6, premiered in the United States on Fox on January 14, 2007, and concluded on May 21, 2007. The season's storyline begins and ends at 6:00a.m. It is set 20 months after the events of the previous season.

It’s very rare for me to give a self help book 5 stars. If you’re trying to convince people to think about a concept in a certain way or to learn something new then you should be able to do it in a way that’s digestible, convincing and captivating. In my opinion, 24/6 does all of that. I definitely recommend this one for anyone looking to reduce their screen time, increase productivity and overall well being.

Couldn’t finish. Got a little over halfway through it. The general idea of a Tech Shabbat is wonderful and I support it, but I think this approach to discussing tech is outdated and unhelpful. How do we talk about phone usage without fear mongering? It’s certainly not by saying this, the line that made me quit: “Let’s just call everything what it is. A flip phone is a phone and a smart phone is an addiction machine.” And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet. The following are books, TED talks, etc. that are mentioned in the book but not in the resources section.

I liked the chapter on reimagining rest as a technology. If you look at your day of unplugging as a way to reset/reboot your system it goes a long way. Literally just look at what happens when you have too many tabs open for too long and never shut down your computer, it freezes, it becomes slow, your ability to carry out work on it is compromised, less efficient. Our bodies are like that as well. and you will begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, do not be troubled, for it is necessary for all [these] to come to pass, but the end is not yet.
