Taking a break from online this week to stare at the ocean, visit family, and air out the brain. As someone who spends a lot of time online, breaks like this can be good for the heart, soul, and brain. Someone referred me to this excellent post by Danah Boyd about how to take an email sabbatical.

The brain needs a break from the barrage and needs to reset itself to normal operating mode. Overworked new media managers often find it challenging to connect face to face, or they cannot quiet their mind long enough to read a book on the beach or watch a sunset. The will to engage and interact is drained, and procrastination sets in.
