Take Our Corporate Retreat Challenge

Do you own social media accounts, or do they own you? Yes, people who have no other interests in their lives spend too much time on their smartphones and laptops. But how much time is too much time—one hour a day? Two? Three? According to a recent study, nearly four billion people around the world will use social media in 2022, and the average amount of time they’ll spend doing it each day is about 2.5 hours. Think of it: That’s 17.5 hours a week.

What could a person do with an additional 17.5 hours a week? Get a good start on writing a novel? Spend a portion of it getting some much-needed exercise and the remaining hours researching healthy diets? Play a few board games with your kids, which could be more about bonding than winning? Take a few long walks with your significant other or a good friend? Travel?

As an employer, you can help your staff break away from this addiction. We suggest you offer them our corporate retreat challenge: Spend 2-3 days in world-famous Yosemite National Forest, exploring the stunning California coast or enjoying the unique topography of Joshua Tree National Park in the Mojave Desert WITHOUT digital technology.

Ackkk! Are you sweating? Is your heart beating faster? If the thought of being without your smartphone is so disturbing, that’s a good indication that you’re addicted. You and your employees only have so many seconds, minutes hours, days, weeks, months and years left to live. Do you truly want to use up 910 hours a year on social media?

Imagine being able to interact with your people as you walk through the woods. You’ll feel your pulse slowing down as you take in the wonders of the wilderness. Think of it as a little reality check on what’s really important to you—your loved ones, your employees, your health, world peace, right? It’s not too late to get a grip. Give us a call.
