The all or nothing approach to being digital connected was a fascinating experience. In the past I've tried disconnecting from social media for a week. It's almost like an auto-tuning process where circumstance dictates digital connectedness rather than the ever-present notification or urge to check what's happening via our always-on devices.ĭigital wellness is something that can be challenging. In short, we unplugged quite a bit from our usual plugged in lifestyle. We had a lot of fun, attempted to sleep more, and enjoyed plenty of conversations with friends and family. And, including work trips within the visit for both myself and my wife added even more layers of travel. Getting back to the US for work is easy, but we decided to turn this visit into a nearly month long adventure.Ĭoordinating a family trip with visits to Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Florida, and Iowa represented an enormous logistical challenge filled with planes, trains, and automobiles.
The impetus of the visit began with an invitation from the Rochester Institute of Technology for me to come and speak at their Young Professionals in Higher Education Conference. At the beginning of October my family and I took a multi-state trip back to the US. It's been almost a month since I was at home in the United Kingdom.
