5 ways to do a digital detoxification

Too much of technology is often linked to attention-deficit symptoms, social isolation, impaired brain development, and even disrupted sleep and life in some cases. Excessive technology use can take away your time that can be devoted to activities such as sleep, exercise, and socialising, which are inherently important for one’s well-being. In the post-pandemic world, we all want to be connected to our friends and family through calls and FaceTime sessions.

1. Make sure to limit your screen time and not use phones for longer durations, especially if there’s no need for it as it would only put added pressure on your life.

2. Every couple of hours, insist on doing something that is not digital. Balance your screen time with other activities such as art, reading, working out, and social networking. Your work-life balance will dictate the nature of digital detox eventually.

3. Switch off the phone after work and switch it on the next morning. Keep it away for the evening and night in order to spend quality time with friends and family.

4. Try for no usage of devices before bedtime for a substantial period.

5. Take mini breaks from your phone and digital devices. For instance, if you are going for a walk, avoid taking your phone or smartwatch, and just enjoy the walk. Use them only once you are back.
