Hey there, Jen here, and this is a happy bit. So lately I have been thinking about an article I read

that claimed that the electromagnetic field around the earth had changed and that this was causing

us to feel like time was moving faster. Now, it doesn't sound like any form of science I know,

but it still got me thinking that I really do feel

like my life is moving really, really fast. So I started looking at what might be the cause,

and you guessed it. It's checking email and Facebook too often. Those are what are taking my time

because, you know, I like to justify doing those things because of my business,

but I've fallen into some bad habits. I used to have rules of the time of day when I would check

those things, but I've kind of slid downward. So, can you relate? Are you checking email and Facebook

constantly throughout the day? They say on average a person checks their email 11 times an hour.

They also say those who spend more time on Facebook are much less happy. They've done actual studies

about this because we're seeing everyone else's best and comparing it to our worst. Or as Jill Savage

their outsides to our insides. So who's with me? We need to get a grip on this right. So we have

some options. First, you can turn all the notifications off so nothing shows up on your phone

tempting you to click. Or I'm going to do the more

strict route, and I'm little scared. I'm going to remove Facebook and email from my phone all together.

I know. This is really diehard. I don't know how long it will last, but I'm least going to do it for a week.

This will force me to check email and Facebook on my computer at set times, which I really

could use. So I would love to hear how you're going to apply this. Shoot me an email at

gen at genraday.com and tell me what are you going to do to reduce the time you spend on

email, the internet, or Facebook. It's going to make us so much happier. I already know because
