I came across One Citizen Speaking about how today’s technology can easily gnawing our quality of life. There it says technology can be people’s boomerang, turn them into technology slave rather that supporting their life, as initial technologies are built for. So, what should we do? Here are my version list to make our mobile lifestyle really under our own control :

1. Know and (Again) Use only Telecommunication Features and Services you need. Beside saving your cost (most of case), it will indirectly prevent over usage of natural resources. If you’re not sure what services do you want, go check this wiki information. And better to contact your network provider customer service.
2. Learn how to optimize using your preferred services. It will save time for you in the future, especially if you are not in comfortable condition. It is good to pick up the most handy service for you.
3. Use separate number (and mobile) for your work and family/personal. It will keep you in touch with your daring persons while you can keep away from work when you are drowned by your sweat enough. Plug auto-answer feature to your work phone, this is the best (and fastest) way to say you are not ready to do more works. If you have to answer it, save the words, just say something like “no thanks, sorry”. This is often happen to most people who do telecommute jobs, even traditional workers experiences same issue also.
4. Use Prepaid payment system. Basically, post-paid payments is another type of your periodical debt. Unless in some case you have very detail calculation and consideration proofing postpaid is better, please pick prepaid as your generally preferred payments. Most of services are built to make people addicted to them, most people won’t know the are addicted until they are run out of credits. This is why prepaid useful, as one of reminder tool, and it works very good.
5. Aware of environment - technology related issue. Check out my green garden tips , do something similar or bigger. This will make big change with our living world, and make you feel good.
6. Build effective habits with your mobile. This what this blog about and I will cover on this issue more in upcoming post.

As I mentioned in this blog sub header tag : Be Mobile, not Mobilized.
