Unplug

Maybe you can’t afford to miss a call from a potential employer; maybe your work IS being on social media. The point I’m making is we now live in a culture where time away from a screen is considered a luxury (and for elites, according to the New York Times), which leads me to this terrifying thought: our attention is for sale. And we’re consuming things with few limitations and boundaries that place our self-interest top of mind.

What's shocking is that even when we’re so aware of our distractions, even when I’m writing about said distractions, we find ourselves struggling to wrap our head around how unmanageable they have become. And they designed it that way.

Unplug is designed to help busy professionals take time away from it all, especially work and get them to experience life in a more rested setting. But over the last couple of months it's becoming harder to unplug. To learn more about unplug by Toxic Work Spaces visit 👇
