<p>LOL - my first car phone was like a brick - and as heavy as one. It terrified me every time it rang while I was driving on the LA freeway and in the middle of a critical lane change or something...</p>

Ha! Thanks for the comment, Sylvia. You're right - you pretty much have to jump in water in order to unplug these days. Remember the times when a cell phone was limited to use in the car? I mean, it was a huge bag that weighed 10lbs. The "mobile" meant it was "car phone". :)

<p>What do I do to unplug? Jump into the sea - can't bring your electronics into the water!</p>
<p>And yes, I agree with the comments about multi-tasking, it's the devil.</p>

<p>Good idea, Carolyn. There is such thing as too much multitasking. Science even shows that the very idea of multitasking is impossible. :) </p>

<p>I can't agree with you more, Kirk. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will put my cell in my bag in the back seat or trunk just so I'm not tempted to call someone on my way to/from work. Two reasons I do this -</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. On my way home I pick my baby up from daycare and don't want any distractions while I'm driving around my precious cargo.</p>
<p>And 2. I've come to realize I don't need to multi-task EVERYTHING. I don't need to drive while catching up with old friends, scheduling appointments,…</p>

<p>1. On my way home I pick my baby up from daycare and don't want any distractions while I'm driving around my precious cargo.</p>
<p>And 2. I've come to realize I don't need to multi-task EVERYTHING. I don't need to drive while catching up with old friends, scheduling appointments, checking email or Facebook, Tweeting, whatever. It is unecessary. If it is important I'll make time for it when I'm home or during the day at work, on my lunch break.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What I do need to do on my way home is crank up Lady Gaga, dance in my seat, and sing out loud (without the baby in the car of course). It makes me feel good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh, and sometimes I leave my personal phone at home, just for fun (or because I'm a spaz in the morning and if its not already in my bag I will forget it). I tell my husband to call my work number if there is an emergency. You should try it one day, it is liberating. :)</p>
