A Digital World

In today's fast-paced, interconnected world, people spend an average of over 6 hours a day in front of screens (1/4 of a whole day). Being available at all times has advantages, of course, but we took it a step further.

The rapid growth of digital technologies has changed the way we interact, do business, find information, and live. We chat to stay connected, pay with our digital cards, and shop online. Are we living in a digital world? 

Main 🥙 

Why should you unplug?

Answer: We are more connected than ever before.

Unplugging, better known as digital detox, focuses on alleviating the negative effects of technology.

Here are some reasons why you should unplug:

Too much exposure to digital devices can…

• disrupt your sleep.

• increase depression and loneliness.

• boost stress and anxiety.

• affect your overall mental wellbeing 📉.

A Digital Detox Guide

• Turn off push notifications (of course, only the ones you can live without 😉).

• Put away your phone during meals (you will enjoy your meals a little more 🥙).

• Designate tech-free hours (set an alarm ⌚️).

• Make your bedroom a no-tech zone (no bright blue lights and no screens).
