It’s time for a break… a short one at least.

Let’s turn off our all our digital connections (email, Twitter, Facebook and more) this weekend and really spend some time with our friends and families.

Take a break from all the noise and rest.

That’s what I’ll be doing anyways. Starting tonight (Wednesday) at midnight, I plan on disconnecting for the long weekend and don’t plan on returning to the online world until at least Sunday evening.

Friday’s podcast is posted and scheduled (it’s a good one) and otherwise, if anyone needs me you know how to reach me via phone.

Along with spending time with my family, I’m hoping to do some good reading, continue working on the #nanodrawmo project and perhaps get some Frisbee golf or geocaching in.

I might even work on creating some Christmas gifts for this year as well.

What about you? What can you do instead of continually checking in with your online networks?

Here’s to a long relaxing break.

As of writing this, I’m not sure how long it’ll be. I’m thinking at least two weeks, but maybe the whole month of November. We’ll just wait and see.
