I have a friend (we fast monthy as a religious group on food & give the saved funds to help feed those who cannot afford food) who suggested a weekend or week long fast of all screens/tech.
He went a month (almost a decade ago) & does it every year now.
We planned to implement a no power day in our home every month to teach our children how to survive in times of crisis or if the power goes out. Hoping I am ready for winter when we do that. Will need to teach out children how to prevent pipes from freezing.
If I get to a point where I can build my own home from the ground up, I will install pipes to every faucet via a central location so I can drain them all & only keep ones on that I must have that aren't likely to freeze in a disaster scenario. Trying to heat every room in my home where pipes run could be pretty costly depending on the layout.
