When was the last time you took a vacation?

Yeah, we're *too* attached.

Corporate types now cant be 9-5 even if they want to....the phone is always there, and now so is the email.

In our world, we largely could if we're our own boss, but dont because we care about our businesses. And our phones now dont allow us those "forced" downtime periods, we're always able to attach and have a look see at what's happening with our business.

It's not healthy.

It gets worse when our phones are now such a part of us that we blend personal and business through them. That means you take your phone with you on vacation to keep in touch with friends and family but that temptation is always there.

I hope to use google voice to work on that a bit...just haven't had time to play with it. I have also taken my sim out of my blackberry and put it into an old school phone-only phone in the past to avoid email temptation, but now I'm so addicted to apps and the other goodies on my phones that I dont see that happening either.
