You know it well...
That familiar ping of another notification.
The endless stream of messages.
The pressure to respond immediately.
Being "always on" has become our default setting - but at what cost?
Our energy quietly drains away while we're too busy responding to notice the depletion.
Here's what I've discovered:
True success isn't about staying plugged in 24/7.
It's about mastering the art of strategic unplugging

"Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." - Anne Lamott

7 Power Shifts to Restore Your Energy:
1. Start with Stillness (my fav!)
↳ First 5 minutes no phone
↳ Three deep breaths and one non-negotiable for the day
2. Create Untouchable Time
↳ 90 minutes daily in Do Not Disturb
↳ Phone in another room to remove temptation
3. Master the Energy Stack
↳ Deep work before noon when your brain is sharp
↳ Shallow tasks (email/admin) for your afternoon dip
4. Practice Micro Resets
↳ 1 minute breathing break between tasks
↳ Look at something 20 ft away for 20 seconds
5. Design Power Blocks
↳ Work in 45-minute sprints - followed by a true break
↳ Get up and walk or stretch during breaks
6. Set Digital Sunsets
↳ No devices after 8 pm
↳ Calming nighttime ritual instead
7. Use Transition Rituals
↳ 5-minute decompress breaks between meetings
↳ Three slow breaths: in through nose, out through mouth
Success isn't measured by how long you stay plugged in.
It's measured by how well you recharge
Have a beautiful week,
