Just in case you hadn’t heard of it, we thought we’d let you know today is the Global Day of Unplugging. Established in 2003, the idea behind the day was to challenge people to keep their electronic devices unplugged and unused for 24 hours, to give themselves the chance to take a break and spend time relaxing with family, friends, or alone. Speaking of unplugging, if you’re still a little confused on the new Right to Disconnect laws, tune in to the Elevate podcast tomorrow, where Elite Agent Managing Editor Samantha McLean and Editor Kylie Dulhunty will unpack what the changes mean for real estate.
