A cause is being promoted to encourage people to unplug from sundown, March 23rd to sundown March 24th. It is being called the National Day of Unplugging and is referred to as a “modern day of rest” by the organizers. This same group encourages the tech savvy to disconnect regularly in order to increase the productivity of those times when we are connected. They even have a campaign called “Unplug and Eat Together” which is fairly self-explanatory, although they do add a bit of their overall philosophy of reflection:
By unplugging from technology, people have a better chance of reflecting on their food choices. For the National Day of Unplugging 2012 we’re sponsoring an “Unplug and Eat Together” campaign in honor of Sabbath Manifesto principle #8, “eat bread” in conjunction with Slow Food USA and Hazon and numerous other program partners. We’re encouraging thousands of people tuning out from technology for the NDU to come together with family, friends and loved ones over healthy, affordable and ecologically conscious meals.
What do you think? Would unplugging at certain times make you more productive over all?
