Week 4: Continue to do the ideas from weeks 1-3. We are unplugging this weekend and every 4rth week from here on out. No cell phone (except for emergencies), no TV, no video games – no distractions from our family time. 1 - Create an auto responder for your emails to this effect saying that you will be offline during the weekend and if there is an emergency to call you - though let it go to message first. Resist the urge to fall into the trap of mindless chit-chat during any emergency phone-calls. Frequently, the world will not end if we don’t fire off an email reply within 30 minutes of getting an email. The world doesn’t really revolve around us and will not come to a halt if we don’t respond fast. 2 - Plan ahead this week for activities to do with your family. 3 - Find a scenic vista (mountain, ocean, sunset, etc) to go to and just enjoy 30 minutes of silence.
