What is it about digital addictions that make us think the occasional break will suffice?

~ Cal Newport from, Digital Sabbaticals Don’t Make Sense – Cal Newportsense/

Weekly sabbaticals make no sense, sure. But less frequent sabbaticals are powerful. Take a week off from—whatever, email, social networks, etc.—and your addictions are made obvious. Nothing surprising there. The question is: Do you then consciously bring the addicting drug back into your life?

That’s not hyperbolic soapboxing; That’s a real question for you to consider.
