what is your favourite techtimeout activity?
For me, the greatest techtimeout activities are those where any temptation to look at my phone or be in front of a screen is completely wiped out. That's why one of my favourite things to do is road cycling.
When I go off into the hills, it can be hours until I even think about using my phone - and it's heaven! Plus, when I do check back in, it's more exciting to see what messages I have and using my phone again actually becomes a novelty!
why are you passionate about techtimeout?
I found that over the years we have so easily slipped into some really bad tech habits that are really difficult to get away from. I realised it had gone too far, when myself and my partner starting going out to dinner and would sit down and instantly get our phones out. I didn't like that whatever was happening on the phone, seemed more important than the moment and the conversations we could have been having.
Now, to resist temptation, I actually leave my phone at home when I can. Turns out, if you look up, there is a whole world out there!
