Setting boundaries with technology and creating techfree zones in our homes can improve relationships and mental health from "summary" of CrazyBusy by Edward M. Hallowell

In the modern world, with technology constantly at our fingertips, it can be challenging to find a balance between staying connected and being present in the moment. We live in a society that values productivity and efficiency, often leading us to feel overwhelmed and "crazy busy." It is crucial to recognize the impact that technology has on our relationships and mental health. Setting boundaries with technology is essential for maintaining healthy relationships with those around us. When we are constantly glued to our devices, we may miss out on meaningful interactions with our loved ones. Creating tech-free zones in our homes can help us establish boundaries and prioritize face-to-face communication. By disconnecting from our screens, we can fully engage with our family and friends, fostering deeper connections and strengthening our relationships. Moreover, constant exposure to technology can have detrimental effects on our mental health. The incessant notifications, emails, and messages can contribute to feelings of stress and anxiety. By designating certain areas in our homes as tech-free zones, we can create a sanctuary where we can unplug and unwind. This separation from technology allows us to recharge and focus on our mental well-being. In today's fast-paced world, it is easy to become consumed by technology and lose sight of what truly matters. By setting boundaries with technology and establishing tech-free zones in our homes, we can improve our relationships and mental health. It is essential to prioritize human connection and self-care in order to lead a fulfilling and balanced life. By being mindful of our technology usage, we can create a healthier and happier environment for ourselves and those around us.
