Now, down to business….<\/p>\n

A few months back, I wrote a post about\u00a0<\/span>‘unplugging’ from technology <\/a>for the sake of your\u00a0<\/span>health<\/em>, but recently I’ve been thinking about unplugging\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0for the sake of creativity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Like most writers, I work a full time job, then I return home and work for another 4-6 hours–be it on my book, critiquing for friends, editing my client’s work, or simply doing chores around the house (confession<\/em>: the boyfriend does a ton of chores b\/c I am\u00a0such<\/em>\u00a0a fiend about writing in the evenings).<\/p>\n

But\u00a0<\/em>it doesn’t stop there.<\/em>\u00a0When I’m not at home or at work, I’m often guilty of reading twitter and blogs on my phone, especially those that pertain to writing\/reading. There’s so much to read, so much to learn…I want to know it all!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

But what if this overzealous dedication is counterproductive? What if all it’s making me miss out on the very thing that will make me a great writer—you know, LIVING MY LIFE?<\/strong>\u00a0Because after all, who wants to read a book written by someone who doesn’t know about anything except, well, writing books?<\/p>\n

So, I’m going to rededicate myself to unplugging. To relaxing. Here’s my plan:<\/p>\n

\n
• I’m going to get outside more: take walks, go on hikes, ride my bike to the beach.<\/span><\/li>\n
• Visit friends in my area<\/li>\n
• Try out complicated recipes using my tagine<\/a><\/li>\n
• Explore my city. First up: the Watts Towers<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  \nSure, I’ll miss out on some writing time and some blog posts, but I have a feeling that taking time away might improve my focus and creativity during those times I\u00a0<\/span>am<\/em> writing. I may even find a whole new brand of inspiration<\/strong> out there, one that comes from the outside world.<\/span><\/p>\n

  Now, it’s your turn. Are you overworked and underplayed? Do you have to force yourself to unplug once in a while? What do you do to rejuvenate yourself? Let me know in the comments!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
