What I Learned from “7-Days Doing Nothing” Strategy
The moment I’m writing this article, I have completed my one week shutdown.
And I want to share my experience what I learned from “Doing Nothing”.
I’m a digital marketing professional and a freelance writer, so my work doesn’t allow me to stay away from digital channels (or I can say distractions) like social media, email, Internet, and phone. I have to available on these channels most of my time.
But recently I had a minor surgery and my doctor advised me to take rest. But she said that I can use laptop and mobile.
But I decided to be “non-accessible” for 7-days. I decided not to give control of my attention something else other than myself.
And my 7-days doing nothing strategy started. I disconnected my Internet connection and switched off my phone.
I didn’t use social media.
I didn’t check emails.
I didn’t do any text or call (my friends and family got mad at me because they couldn’t reach me).
I didn’t even read newspapers or books (As I’m an avid reader).
I didn’t write anything.
In short, I did NOTHING and I didn’t consume anything.
