The Best Gift for a Loved One

For the person who has everything, how about giving them the gift of your time.

In our Pokémon Go world where we are all distracted by augmented reality or just the omnipresence of social media, face time one on one is a valuable commodity now.

Some ideas …

  • Sit down in close proximity face to face with another person without digital devices.  Open mouth.  Speak (and don’t forget to listen).
  • Tell a child that you are going to put your phone on the table and ask them to do the same thing as you go for a walk together free of outside distractions.
  • Tell your family you love them every night by having dinner phone-free and you take the lead.  Surveys show that parents more than even teens fight to stay tethered to their phones.  This sends a positive message.
  • In a healthy relationship with another person, you want to aim for an equal amount of time without digital distractions than with them.
