Rather it's time with the family or just the wife and friends. It's easy to let Saturday turn into a work day sometimes though, but Sundays are left to rest. Great article.

My family and I are lucky enough to have and go to a place on a lake in Canada that has NO internet, NO phone, NO TV and NO cell reception. There is a phone at a nearby marina. That number is only given to family members in case of emergency, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER to clients. It's amazing! It not only clears my head, but gives me the opportunity to do some REAL thinking. I look forward to that "unplugging" every year... but the strange thing about it, I'm excited to get back to the every grind afterwards because I'm totally recharged. Like others have said, your article hit the nail right no the head. But I do have one thing to add... an observation really. You must have wrote this article when you were plugged back in and you were obviously distracted because you've got a couple of typos. Ha! I just recently disconnected for 2 weeks.

That's what I've done, only thing I really need is Pandora or Last.fm and the occasional Google search ;) Cut down on the feed you are subscribed to and get back to building.
