My Tools: The Off Switch

Jimmy and Grandma have a day outI’m told that I live in an always-on world, and there are many times when it feels that way. Like many of you I have a tool available to me that keeps me in control of the times that I am available. It’s an invaluable tool and it’s called the off-switch.

Most of the devices I have include an off-switch, even if they don’t I am still in control of the power supply. I have the power to unplug, or to remove the battery.

The off-switch is very good for your brain. As we are approaching the season of holidays and vacations now is the time that you should employ this tool as often as possible and preferably for an extended period.

Here’s my guide to the off switch:

  • On OffOn my laptop it’s the small silver button just above the F9 key.
  • On my desktop it’s the larger silver button on the front towards the rear.
  • On my blackberry it’s a silver button on the top left of the device.

Go on, you can do it.
