When technical breakdowns occur, don't panic. It's a sign you should step away from your phone, computer or tablet. Doing things the old-fashioned way may be time consuming, but it can also be restful. It isn't healthy to have your eyes glued to a screen all day. If a piece of equipment is irretrievably broken, think about not replacing it. You may be delighted to discover that life is much more pleasant when you're not subjected to beeping and ringing all day.
