MAKING UNPLUGGING HAPPEN

It can be extraordinarily difficult to separate the sections and components of life’s world. Do not unplug and make that stick is equivalent to living a life which is a kaleidoscope of confusion. It is important to be able to switch on and switch off. An inability to engage the on/off/on/off switch (that is unplugging then reengaging and unplugging as appropriate) leads to confusion and ultimately to unhappiness.

Metaphorically, one’s life can be likened to a house in which there are several power points. As you need a source for a particular purpose, you engage that PowerPoint, turning it off at the completion of its use. For another aspect of need, turn on the appropriate PowerPoint and then turn it off when finished. To have all the power points operating at once is to create confusion and overload to the Primary power source.

Trying to do everything at once and never switching anything off, sets you up to be a jack of all trades and master of none.

Skiving off and failing to commit to family, work and recreational responsibilities is unwise. So too is failing to unplug, for in life’s world, balance is important.
