Can you share some details? Do you disconnect while in your hometown going about your daily routine, or do you have this down time in a different environment? I'm kind of looking for inspiration. I have grown kids and friends that I text with so I'm also wondering how my relationship with them would fit into this. Has that played a role for you?
Now do it for three months. Every year.
Been doing that for 25 years now, and the only regret I have is that I should have started earlier.
