IT'S OKAY TO UNPLUG SOMETIMES. REALLY.
Be present
It's important to remember to pay more attention to the people you're with rather than the people posting status updates or texting you from afar. Being present makes you a better friend.You're not missing out
It's easy to feel like you're missing out on something big if you're out of touch for a few hours, but make a habit of setting a time everyday to just unplug and not be constantly available for digital contact. Let your friends know you'll be back in an while, and use the time to focus on something like spending time with a friend, reading, or something else you like to do. Then, when you go back to your phone, you'll get to catch up on just the most interesting stuff you might have missed.
