    If I were to take a break, I would say bye to social media.

    In the hypermediated world dominated by social media and digital gadgets I strongly feel that we are surrendering our autonomy.

    Being addicted to digital gadgets waiting for that one like or comment has slowly taken control of our lives without our notice.

    As mentioned by Cal Newport in Digital Minimalism its high time we realized this and use digital gadgets and social media judiciously.

    I do need a break and STOP CHECKING my INBOX frequently. Email though an amazingly convenient medium of communication, frequent checking of emails can lead to toxic side effects.

    In his book A WORLD WITHOUT EMAIL, Cal Newport has enlightened us on the harmful effects of checking frequent emails and its impact to deep work.

    “While the ability to rapidly communicate using digital messages is useful, the frequent disruptions created by this behavior also make it hard to focus, which has a bigger impact on our ability to produce valuable output than we may have realized.”

    Fascinating book, time to grab a copy and get enlightened.
