Spend some time away from computers

I spent the last couple of days at a summer cottage. I had my phone and laptop with me, but I didn’t use them at all even though it was raining all the time. Instead I read books and played board games. It was very relaxing.

I feel stupid for writing this down, but spending some time away from the Internet is a great idea. I know it and I think you know it, too. I also know that I sometimes forget it. It is the summer vacation season, so I thought it’d be a good time for a gentle reminder.
