Of course, we have the right to disconnect. And we often tell ourselves a story about how we need a work-life balance.
But unconsciously, we succumbed to silence our thoughts through endless social media scrolling or plainly enslaving ourselves with our machines.
Feeling bored? Go check Facebook and see what everyone else is up to.
Feeling bored? Randomly click apps on your phone and see which ones are interesting to explore more at the moment.
Feeling bored? See how much money you have in your account (now checking the online banking app for the third time today).
Got extra time to waste? Scroll through Netflix, and maybe you’ll find a good movie to watch tonight.
And there goes your call for work-life balance out the window.
This is not about having too much workload that it’s already killing you no matter how much time you put in. That’ll be another story.
