You know those cute, little alert numbers on phones ?
Facebook. Instagram. Twitter. Email, Timehop. Pinterest …
Yeah. Those.
I shut mine off the other day.
Why ?
Because they were becoming way too distracting and darn-right consuming to my every day self. As if someone were continually calling my name.
“Hey Jacki !! Look at me !! Look at meeeeee !!”
& it’s not like I was addicted or anything, I’d check those buggers only occasionally, every so often, now, again and once in awhile because, hey !! you just never know !! it might be important !!
ummm. Truth be told ?
99.9% of the time, it could have, should have waited and if I calculated how many moments I’ve spent looking down, checking my cellular device ?? I’m pretty sure it would total a number I’d be embarrassed to admit.
yikes
& so, I’m now officially

yep.
I’ve gone from throughout the day ‘here, let me just look real quick’ checking to once in the morning, once at night and I have to tell you IT’S WONDERFUL !!!!
That tap, tap, tapping nuisance has been hushed, the persistent pest released and the negativity that very often attaches it’s downer self to those simple signals ?
ahhhhhhhh
Hey, text me, call me and I promise I’ll be there !! but to all you other this and that’s and beeps and buzzes and dings and rings andandandandand stuff ???
I’ll catch ya later.
