Thanks for the post! I love reading (or watching on YouTube) people go without tech for a period of time. Motivates me to follow suit.
It’s so easy to get into a digital rut and all of a sudden realize you can’t read a book due to lack of attention span. A good detox seems to solve that.
I don’t know about you but when I leave devices out of my room I start reading books and feel cozy in a way I never do with a phone.
Yes, it feels like my brain changes a LOT when I don't have the option to instantly entertain myself with a news nugget, or a video.
I'm seriously pondering ideas of how to seriously just DO this every week, once a week. I know it's valuable, I just need to do it.
Like a "digital detox Sunday". I actually have a recurring reminder in my calendar, to do a digital detox every Sunday. But it seems like things often get in the way.
A wonder if some kind of group accountability thing, here in Stacker News, would be a good option. Agree to do a certain regularly scheduled digital detox, and then if you don't do it, pay up (or something like that).
Maybe similar to that fitness app that people have been talking about, where you pay a penalty in lightning, if you don't do the workout...what was that one called?
