Texting\u00a0redirects our eyes and our attention. If only for a moment,\u00a0it distracts us\u00a0from the present reality of\u00a0the road in front of\u00a0us\u00a0and transports us elsewhere. Obviously, this can be dangerous when driving.<\/p>\n<p>But what about the rest of life? If texting removes us from the present reality of driving, doesn&#8217;t it have the potential to remove us from the present reality of any of life&#8217;s moments? Life is to be lived in the present with our heads up soaking in as much as we can&#8230; not with our head down transported away from our current situation. To that end, consider the positive impact on your life of texting less and\u00a0living more in the present.<\/p>\n<p>Give yourself permission to keep text messages from stealing your life:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Give yourself permission to&#8230; not carry your cell phone at all times. <\/strong>Just put it away &#8211; out of earshot. There are moments in life that are far too\u00a0important to be distracted from them by a text message.\u00a0For example,\u00a0I rarely carry my cell phone around the house when my kids are home. My responsibility to\u00a0give them my undivided attention is more important to me than ANY incoming phone call or text message.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Give yourself permission to&#8230; <\/strong>not answer every text message the moment you receive it. <\/strong>You don&#8217;t answer every incoming email the moment you receive it. You don&#8217;t answer every phone call the moment you receive it (especially when engaged in an activity of higher priority). In the same way, you don&#8217;t need to answer every text message the moment you receive it. There are very few people in your life who should have unrestricted access to your attention. And most of the people texting you, aren&#8217;t them.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Give yourself permission to&#8230; <\/strong>never answer a text in the middle of a conversation with another person. <\/strong>At that point, it&#8217;s not just distracting you from the relationship right in front of you &#8211; it&#8217;s sacrificing any trust and goodwill that you have tried to build with the other person. Your actions have\u00a0indicated\u00a0how much you value that relationship to a far greater extent than any words that come out of your mouth.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Give yourself permission to&#8230; <\/strong>not believe the myth of multi-tasking.<\/strong> I don&#8217;t believe the myth. You may be an exception&#8230; but I would point to distracted driving laws as proof for my side of the argument. Single tasking <a title=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2007\/03\/25\/business\/25multi.html?_r=1&amp;ex=1332475200&amp;en=f2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2007\/03\/25\/business\/25multi.html?_r=1&amp;ex=1332475200&amp;en=f2\">has been proven<\/a> to be more efficient. &#8220;<em>But I&#8217;m good at mutli-tasking<\/em>&#8221; is just an excuse that people use\u00a0so that they can text any time they want. Don&#8217;t believe the hype. Instead, keep your mind focused on the life right in front of you.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Give yourself permission to&#8230; <\/strong>return their text message with a phone call. <\/strong>Texting can be very efficient. It can eliminate small talk, waiting for the person to answer, or going to a computer to send an email. But once a text conversation reaches more than 3 texts back-and-forth, it\u00a0is has lost all efficiency. It could have been handled\u00a0easier with a simple phone call. My general rule of thumb is if\u00a0I receive a text that requires a longer response than one text message, I dial the number and handle it the old-fashioned way.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Give yourself permission to&#8230; <\/strong>conduct important conversations over the phone or in person.<\/strong> The medium is the message. Conversations based on relationships, important business, or bad news come across as flippant when conducted via text. They should always be handled over the phone or better yet, in person.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Just to be clear, I&#8217;m not against texting. It can be very efficient and helpful. But just like everything else, left unchecked, it has the potential to steal your life right out of the palm of your hand. And I am definitely against that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, Vermont became the 26th state in the USA to outlaw texting while driving.
