Family and date nights, I keep seeing a recurring theme: 99.99% of the times everyone is glued to technology or their phones.

The reason I recognized it because I was just as bad.

I wasted precious moments with my wife, children and loved ones, and now we are invested in interacting with each other.

Clarity is power, so based upon what I want, I had to make a shift from the obsession I had with technology.

This technology addiction caused me to waste memories with those that I love being around the most, so I created a blackout time in which I put my phone away.

It was hard, just like shifting any addiction, but now I love having that time of being off technology.

I do this with coaching events, which always has resistance in the beginning, but eventually this blackout time from technology becomes something we all look forward to.
