Dave, who works in Seattle, has spent some 20 years in technology, holding executive positions in IT services, software distribution and hardware development companies as well as developing Asia joint ventures. Dave does unplug, but turning off the cell phone, laptop and hand-held wireless devices remains a challenge. "Running a new startup with three additional board members and venture commitments to three or four other companies means most of the regular business activities are in different time zones and on different projects," he says.
Dave admit being connected can be addictive. "Early in my career, I was in the wireless industry, so it was fun to be plugged in all the time," says Dave, who now is co-founder and CEO of 9Spaces Inc., helping Western companies launch in China by providing the country’s largest high-end job board for bilingual candidates. He is also a board member with two firms, as well as entrepreneur-in-residence for a venture firm。Julie Morgenstern, best-selling author and time-management and organization expert. "Many people have become so addicted to being plugged in they can’t go 15 minutes without checking their e-mail," she says. "And if they’re away from communication too long — i.e., an hour or several — they can’t be fully present in whatever they’re doing, from being in a business meeting to enjoying an evening out with friends. "Developing your tolerance for being unplugged for several hours at a time allows you to truly engage with people on issues at a higher quality and more in-depth level," she says. "Ultimately, you get more done in less time, with better results, and that saves time in the long run as well." The benefit Dave sees in unplugging is "reconnecting," he says. "I asked my wife how I was doing on this topic before saying yes to the interview. I could still do better, and I’ll always have that as a goal. But it’s important to show your spouse, kids and friends that they mean more to you when they’re with you than the phone or BlackBerry."
