Blackberry (Crackberry) and other PDA (Palm, Pocket PC) addicts…

 Technology is great, we can be connected and in touch with our business at all times. At what cost though? Does your significant other get annoyed and/or upset that you are always responding to emails on your PDA or Blackberry? Does it keep you from paying full attention to your children? It is easy to get caught up with work, especially when you cannot get away from it. I know I get into trouble for being on the computer way too much. I won’t say I am addicted (denial is the first stage of addiction), but I do tend to ignore the world around me when my eyes are hypnotized by LCD screen in front of me. This is a problem many of us face. Is it worth any fights or arguements with your significant other? Is it worth not giving the children all the attention they need? Certainly not. Also, for our own sake, we need a break from work. Too much work can cause too much stress. It is no fun to work all day and have no fun. It is best to either turn off the cell phone/PDA right when you get home and take some time to talk to your family. If you really need to, then turn it back on after a scheduled time with your family. Later at night go ahead and turn it off again, plan to have at least two sessions with your wife/husband and or/kids without being interrupted by your mobile device. Your significant other will love you for it and your kids will incredibly happy to have more time with you. If you are single and have no kids, then take some time to relax, go to the gym, or hang out with some friends. There is more to life than work, learn to enjoy yourself and learn to relax. The more relaxed you are and the more you enjoy your life, the better work you will do. So let’s take a deep breath, put our crackberries down, and enjoy the wonders around us.
