Stu

I broke the silence 10 minutes early this morning. I was checking twitter on my phone when I suddenly realised what I was doing.

I consciously turned the phone off, put it down, and re-entered the silence.

Then something astounding and potentially life-changing happened that wouldn’t have happened if I’d been distracted on my phone.

So it was well worth observing the silence today.

I’ve stopped the knee-jerk email checking the moment I wake. Could still do better at the other end of the day.

I’ve been very bad on this goal for the last few months and due to that, my life has lost its balance. So this is a very important goal for me.

Not comfortable with this facebook sharing at all. I don’t have anything super-private on here, but I don’t want my posts here bandied about on FB.
