Unplugging

The word is misleading.

There's the sense of losing power and therefore the ability to produce. Yet everyone I know who occasionally "unplugs" from online channels for a time does so to recharge.

That's what I'm doing next week. Gonna spend time with family and refresh the well, so to speak.

I won't be without devices, will carry a phone (for can't-wait calls), iPod touch (for reading), and camera (for shots, if I remember to take them).

For the first time in a while, though, I won't have my laptop with me. Dwayne has one if I can't wait to get a scene written, but if history serves, when the niece and nephew nap, so do I. And now that I get up early to run, there won't be any late-night writing sessions.

So, blog posts will resume the following week, as will Tweets.

How about you -- do you periodically unplug from online activities? Do you do a limited unplug or go full man-on-the-mountain? Either way, what motivates you to do so?
