If you haven’t yet taken a digital detox holiday, you’ve been missing out. I tried this for the first time in Myanmar, where the wifi was so bad that it simply made sense to take a complete break from work, along with social media. The first few days were difficult but by the end of my ten-day trip, I’d almost forgotten my phone existed, and I was more centered and focused on actually living in the moment.  Since, that first digital detox, I’ve switched off my access to social media in places like Bali and Dubai as well. Believe me, you see and experience so much more when you’re focused on living it, and not simply recording it.  Studies have found numerous benefits to switching off.

He lived alone, worked at noon, yet for 22 years, no one saw him at work. He dedicated the building to his former lover who abandoned Edward on the eve of his wedding many years ago.
