These are great ideas. I love the digital break images. I'm going to try to put my phone away as soon as I walk in the door. My kids deserve my full attention.
Yes! 1000 times yes! I often feel like Iām willingly giving away valuable time and mental energy to something that isnāt giving me much back. Some social media is valuable, but it is often like stress eating. I know itās not good and yet I keep doing it. Where is my self control?? But then I think the creators behind these platforms have figured out how to make it so very addictive. Taking breaks is very wise and probably necessary.
Thank you for this. I have noticed that I sometimes turn to Youtube for entertainment if I am feeling sad, discouraged, tired, etc. It's sort of like emotional eating. It is a huge attention and productivity robber.
Currently taking a social media break this month, as I've been taking one seasonally since reading Digital Minimalism. Always a nice reset.

This is great, Hope. I donāt struggle with this (much), but sometimes even I need a reset and this was a lovely reminder.
