I, like many, am challenged by what&#39;s acceptable for screen time in my home. <a class=\"zem_slink\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=37.33182,-122.03118&amp;spn=1.0,1.0&amp;q=37.33182,-122.03118 (Apple%20Inc.)&amp;t=h\" rel=\"geolocation\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Apple Inc.\">Apple<\/a>, <a class=\"zem_slink\" href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\" rel=\"homepage\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\">Facebook<\/a> and <a class=\"zem_slink\" href=\"http:\/\/google.com\" rel=\"homepage\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\">Google<\/a> are just a few of the contenders for attention.

We all have been given 1,440 minutes in each day.<\/p>\n<p>Can you spare 3 minutes?<\/p>\n<p>Sparing 3 minutes is a starting point. It&#39;s a starting point for you to discover how much a gift time is and maybe how much time you&#39;re wasting on the pursuits that, in the end, won&#39;t amount to much.<\/p>\n<p>So what should you do with 3 minutes? Here&#39;s a suggestive list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take in nature. Right now, where I&#39;m at, nature is sending a love letter to the senses.<\/li>\n<li>Turn off the screens and do nothing.<\/li>\n<li>Look at people and consider where they may be at.<\/li>\n<li>Count all that is going right in your life.<\/li>\n<li>Tell someone you love them-on purpose.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now go do this every day. You&#39;ll still have 1,437 minutes leftover. Who knows, maybe that 3 minutes you spared will grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My post today is not so much about social media, as it is about what we spend our time on in a given day (given is a keyword here).
