00:00:01 --> 00:00:05 Just because our devices may be on at all hours doesn't mean we

00:00:05 --> 00:00:06 have to be also.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:11 Tune in for three sanity-saving tips to restore balance.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16 Hello,

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18 and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:18 --> 00:00:23 the daily podcast chock-full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26 Please like, share, and subscribe.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:32 MOMO 634 Motivational moments just for today.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34 We all run up against the type.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:53 the person who perhaps doesn't read cues well or over shares,

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57 like gory details of a dental or doctor's visit.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:02 Maybe it's co-workers who post to a work chat thread at all hours,

00:01:02 --> 00:01:06 or someone at school who always needs help and never has their

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07 part of the work done.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12 It's hard to set boundaries and limits sometimes,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15 but it's vital and necessary for optimal mental health.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18 As I said in the episode,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19 Many Oases,

00:01:20 --> 00:01:23 we have to give our brains an ETA for a break,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:27 something to look forward to when we can shut it down for a bit

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28 and be off instead

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30 of always on.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33 There are a number of ways to do this.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36 One, time delineate.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:41 This is particularly helpful with over-sharers or time

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43 monopolizers who don't seem

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44 to be self-aware.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48 At the beginning, make them aware of your limitations.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52 I have a hard stop at X o'clock tonight.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:53 Or,

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56 I have a number of tasks I need to get through before my day ends,

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59 so I only have a few moments right now.

00:02:01 --> 00:02:01 Phone filters.

00:02:02 --> 00:02:06 If your phone has filters or focus settings,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:11 set one for non-work or school hours and stick to it.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13 If questioned, you can state,

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14 I check work,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:15 school,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16 emails,

00:02:16 --> 00:02:18 and messages between X and Y.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22 If it's truly an emergency,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:26 some phones have a built-in feature that triggers after two or

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27 three calls within

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28 five minutes,

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30 which will override the filter.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32 Scheduled sends.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36 You may respond to emails during non-work or school hours,

00:02:37 --> 00:02:40 but using the scheduled send features available by most email

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42 providers masks that

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45 and sends during work or school hours.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:49 Adhering to this alerts recipients as to when you will most

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51 likely respond to

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52 emails or requests.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:58 God ceased work on the seventh day to model for mankind the

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00 need for rest.

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02 Our Momoism for today says,

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05 modern devices may save us time,

00:03:06 --> 00:03:10 but not so we may use it in cramming our days with more to-dos.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12 Create balance.
