Do more with your time.

Tonight I came across a video that had been shared around on Facebook. Now for me to share this video is borderline hypocritical, seeing as I am one of the most internet obsessed people on earth. Any form of social networking site, i'm on it. Any latest craze apps, i've got them. I'm well and truly obsessed with this 'social networking world' that us younger generation now live in. 

This video encourages people to turn off the phones, shut down the laptop screen and just take the opportunity to physically do something. Have a conversation in real life instead of over Facebook, share your thoughts with those closest rather than make a tweet about it, you get the idea. There was one part during the video where it shows the life of two people who met simply by asking for directions. It goes into depth of the life that they led and then goes back to explain that all of these lovely things that they've done together may never of happened if they hadn't of looked up and talked rather than the alternative of going on a phone to find the directions. 



I guess i'd never thought of it that way, but now that i've watched it I will definitely be making a conscious effort to do more with my time than just sit around on my beloved MacBook all day.

Until next time,
