24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week

Product Information

This book came along at just the right time for me. I'm an introvert- I love reading (on my phone!) and listening to podcasts, and I have a drive to keep my brain going all the time.... keep learning, keep growing, keep thinking. I've slowly realized that my brain needs some down time- time to wander, be curious, and gently muse. I've just never made it a priority. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled, for this must happen, but the end is not yet. That said, I did not like the writing at all. It seemed like it was all over the place and to be honest in my opinion the author came off sounding very pretentious and self absorbed. The whole time I was reading it I felt like she was trying to convince both me and herself why every decision she makes is the better one or the right one; like she was so much more enlightened than me. It was less about facts and more about this is what I do and why it is so great. I know she is writing a book about her journey but the I, I, I just really started to get to me. And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.

Strong's 2360: To disturb, agitate; pass: To be troubled, alarmed. From threomai to wail; to clamor, i.e. to frighten. jún je 175. deň roka v gregoriánskom kalendári (176. v priestupnom roku).

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? … You are going to hear the noise of battles close by and the news of battles far away; but do not be troubled. Such things must happen, but they do not mean that the end has come.And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. And you will begin to hear of wars and rumors of wars. Behold, do not be alarmed; for it is necessary to take place, but the end is not yet. To be clear, this is not a mainstream idea-- the author's family has a landline in case of emergencies, they have to print out maps and designate meeting places when they have plans on Saturday-- so there are inconveniences to living this way-- but she makes a compelling argument & her teenage daughters voices are heard in the book too-- that the benefits are worth it.

It's been a literary whirlwind this fall, 2019. It’s felt like I've been living in fast-forward, except during Tech Shabbat, and in those moments connecting with someone at a book signing, stopping to appreciate a note from a reader, seeing the beautiful different combination of friends, family and new people in an audience—all in once place, like a moveable wedding. By going through why we should do it, and tips for how we can do it this book is short & sweet, and I found it extremely helpful and refreshing to read. Keep in mind that the idea is plain & simple, no need to read the book, but it can help get started, or for me, provide a better framework for why and how to live 24/6. This process can be used for any number of fractions. Just multiply the numerators and denominators of each fraction in the problem by the product of the denominators of all the other fractions (not including its own respective denominator) in the problem. EX: And before long you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. Do not be alarmed, for such things must be; but the End is not yet.Lothaire Bluteau — Marcus Alvers (arms dealer; sold the Cordilla Virus; assumed to have a past with Nina Myers)

I decided to take it down to 3 stars for one other reason. This isn't new for today's age. There's two other "24/6" books, yes with that title. One's a non-conservative evangelical Christian who calls for Sabbathing in general. The other is CEO of a tech company who (I presume) looks at digital detachment, and perhaps has even more insight into it from his business side. I don't know at what point in my life I will be able to fully implement this idea. I live away from my family & boyfriend and I want to be able to communicate with them and the sheer fact of leaving my phone on, opens me up to all the other things my phone can do for me. But until I'm in a job & place where the official tech day off is reasonable-- I will resolve to shutting my phone off more when I'm home and all the people I love are already there. Or when I go on walks with my mom or boyfriend. Or when I go to bed at night when I don't need to be anywhere the next day & leaving it off as long as possible.It is going to happen that you are going to hear battles and reports of wars.Take heed that you will not be troubled, for it is necessary that all these things should happen, but it will not yet be the end. beach will be from these waves. If the arrow points towards land, most of the waves’ power will reach I've been doing this and it's one of my favourite moments of the week. It allows me to rest, and read, feel less distracted and already has shown many insights into my personhood due to the reflection a fully "offline" day can foster. I kept thinking about how scientific studies may point out a lot of negative results from too much screen time, but that the response to that can’t just be a pendulum swing away from tech. That’s the point of the Shabbat, right? We’re not removing ourselves from the grid. We’re giving our brains/bodies a break. Please, can we focus on doing that without creating a morality around extensive phone usage? Moralizing these things never works.
