On Disconnecting
When was the last time you turned off email and text notifications? Disconnecting is difficult to do in normal circumstances, but the recent shift to remote work and school has made unplugging even more challenging for many of us.
If you find yourself plagued by a relentless stream of meeting invites, social calls, and news notifications, this collection is for you. Here you’ll find art activities you can do at home, ruminations on beloved brick-and-mortar landmarks in the Bay Area, and reflections on our local landscapes and natural environment. Consider this your toolbox for disconnection: a selection of content that may inspire you to unwind, unplug, and take a moment to yourself.
