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.
