- Rule your technology so it doesn’t rule
- Set up clear rules so when you’re working on your business or recharging at home you’re fully present
- Create more than you consume
As a tech company, we’re well aware of the upsides that rapid advancements in technology have to offer, but we also want to make sure that we’re using our technology wisely — especially when it comes to relationships and family life.
However, if we aren’t intentional about how we design our habits, routines, and living spaces, technology can easily dominate much more of life than we might want it too. It’s important to be proactive in these areas to control your technology vs. allowing technology to control you.
Our Editor-in-Chief recently shared an article from Andy Crouch on the topic, and here are some of our favorite highlights:
“Technology is in its proper place when we use it with intention and care. But technology doesn’t stay in its proper place on its own.”
Top Tech-Wise Commitments
- We want to create more than we consume. So we fill the center of our home with things that reward skill and active engagement.
- We wake up before our devices do, and they “go to bed” before we do.
- We use screens for a purpose, and we use them together, rather than using them aimlessly and alone.
- We show up in person for the big events of life. We learn how to be human by being fully present at our moments of greatest vulnerability.
