Putting everything else away for four hours at a time so that I could completely focus on the callers was freeing. It really was relaxing, in a way.

It's hard to do in a world littered with cell phones begging for attention and everyone thinking you should respond right back but it really is a noticeable difference when technology takes a back seat.
