One of my favorite ways to avoid falling prey to the worst parts of technology is to regularly take breaks from my devices. To do so, my husband and I often borrow a tradition from many of the world’s religions and spend Friday to Saturday nights disconnected from screens—the practice I mentioned to you earlier that’s sometimes called a “technology shabbat,” or “digital sabbath.” This disconnection helps create space and time that we can then use on activities and traditions that leave us nourished and refreshed.
