Living an Unplugged Life as an IT Practitioner
summary
Claims a decade of unplugging one day a week improves life quality while keeping a tech career intact, backed by routine, planning, and rules for reconnection; cites social scale — over 75% of Americans with phones and over a million hours per minute spent watching video — as context. Practical tools: define what “online” means, run a notifications audit, tell a few coworkers or say out of data and cell range, and negotiate on-call coverage via trade days. Family practice survives and iterations make it workable.
