Life Notes with Sheldon

Unplugging to Connect: Finding Balance in a Busy World


Listen Later

We explore how modern technology promises to make life easier but often leaves us busier and more exhausted than ever before, examining ways to unplug and rediscover meaningful connection in our overscheduled lives.

• The paradox of having time-saving technology while feeling constantly rushed and worn out
• Memories of childhood summers with endless free time versus today's overscheduled kids
• The value of living in smaller communities that preserve connection and "Main Street America" values
• How artificial intelligence may be undermining critical thinking skills in younger generations
• Choosing schools and activities based on relationships rather than prestige or programs
• Creating spaces for genuine connection, even through unconventional means like family poker nights
• The importance of bringing people to our tables and homes as a counterbalance to digital isolation

Go out. Do good work, be great and be sure to tune in next time.
