I checked email at school pick up, got kids snacks while tweeting, and Instagrammed dinner. Initially, I was good at getting my work done between school and activities, but soon I realized plugging in had become something I did all the time.

That changed when I left my busy corporate career to move across the country from Calgary to Toronto, and became a work-at-home mom. There were days when I worked after they were in bed but laptops and phones were something to be “worked at.” I worked in an office and once the kids were home from daycare I unplugged. There was a time in my life as recently as three years ago when I had no trouble with devices.
