Okay, okay so I'm playing with words.
Sue me.
Before you do though, listen up.
A little blue bird told me (Twitter) that some folks stayed true to screen free week (which happened last week).

I can't.
So what's the next best thing?
Unplugging without really unplugging.
Here's how it works.
Social media and emails are distractions. (Yes, I know you're nodding.) They often get in the way of starting to write since you feel obliged to respond immediately to queries on guest posting, sponsored posts, meetings, etc.

After that, you're left with just the keyboard, monitor and yourself.
Assuming your children or dogs are busy in the other room, you've got silence to accompany you.
Now that's what I call unplugging without really unplugging.
Voila!
