Marriott Offers Tech-free Zones
Back in November of 2012, Marriott announced that they would incorporate tech-free zones at select resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico during the winter months.
Straight from the horse's mouth
According to the Marriott website,"Guests wishing to enjoy some "digital detox" can retreat to a Braincation zone at each resort where they can enjoy peaceful relaxation with no cell phones or electronic devices in use. The Braincation zones will operate on the honor signs and systems indicating an electronics-free environment will be designed to encourage guests to relax, disconnect and enjoy peaceful reading, conversation or other tech-free pursuits."
This San Antonio Professional Organizer gives two thumbs up!
As a Certified Professional Organizer in San Antonio, I've been preaching digital detox for years. Finally, a company with a worldwide stance has the gall to test drive the concept!
Surprisingly, there have been complaints about this grand idea. Some critics have said that hotels have no right to tell them when and where to use electronics. In actuality, only small sections of the resort will offer this braincation space, so tech junkies can still use their gadgets - just not in these areas.
If you've never tried unplugging from your phone, tablet or computer, I urge you to try it for just thirty minutes. It's amazing how clear and free your mind can feel when you are not at the beck and call of an electronic device. If you want to feel even better, trying going tech free for an hour. If you want bliss, try an entire day.
I congratulate the Marriott on realizing that a true vacation includes have a brain that's completely relaxed.
Personal Organizer
A personal organizer, day planner, personal analog assistant, personal planner, year planner, or agenda (from Latin agenda- things to do), is a small book or binder that is designed to be portable. It usually contains a diary, calendar, address book, blank paper, and other sections. A personal organizer may also include pages with useful information, such as maps and telephone codes.
Manage Your Time with a Professional Organizer
I am guilty of never using one until this year! I always had the ability to remember everything that needed to be done, until one day I forgot an important task and I promised myself I would no longer put all that unnecessary pressure on myself to remember everything, and let something help me to remember - a Professional Organizer!
