Almost every teacher I talk with feels like it\\u2019s impossible to turn off his or her brain at night and rest. Teachers feel like there\\u2019s always too much to do, too many things to remember, and not enough time for any of it. Being more intentional about your connectivity habits is the easiest, fastest, most powerful way I can think of to change that.

\\n

I finally broke my connectivity addiction after running myself into the ground last summer...and it\\xa0honestly shocked how simple it was to rewire my brain so that I no longer craved those constant interactions online.

\\n

3 basic habits enabled me to make (and maintain) the change.\\xa0I created these habits by paying attention to when I was tempted to check my phone or go online, and noticing how I felt when I did or didn\\u2019t indulge.

\\n

And now during the month of May, I want to invite you to join in and do this\\xa0intentional connectivity challenge together. Let\\u2019s stop using our devices to waste time on unintentional breaks and procrastination, and stop allowing them to keep us from fully enjoying and experiencing our lives. We don\\u2019t have to settle for a lifetime of feeling controlled by our devices. We can make connectivity into something better, something more intentional, and we can do it together.
