Turn off your cell phone.

Cell phones are a great way to keep in touch with coworkers,
customers, and the people you care about.
But for your own sense of peace and well-being—
never mind other people’s—it’s important to know
when to turn off your cell phone:
• Turn it off when you are having a conversation with
someone in person.
• Turn it off when you are with friends and relatives
so that you can be fully present. That makes others
feel good.
• Turn it off for some time each day so that you have
“down time”—time when you’re not working and
when you can’t be interrupted by a ringing phone.
