Shut Down

Daily writing prompt
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?

Is there ever a time to unplug? We’re a plugged in species these days. It’s tough to give that up, even for a few minutes.

I don’t know how I know that I need to cool off from the universe, but somehow I usually do. I know when it’s time to stop stressing and start flaking out. How do I know? If I knew, I’d tell you. It’s some invisible sixth sense kind of thing that maybe only computer programmers have.

What do I do to make it happen? Headphones. Music. A TV show on my laptop. Something distracting. Just take some time to recharge for a little while, then get back at it. Back at that thing we call life in the 21st century.

Or some bullshit like that.

Good news, even though I’m sure he’ll never set food in a jail cell. It’s still good news.
