It’s good to see you’re getting results. Could you share roughly what your digital consumption looks like? Just to understand where you’re applying this detox. In my case, I spent a day without using online elements for several hours during a family outing, and it was very rewarding and memorable to be disconnected for that long. However, I should point out that I did use messaging apps to stay in touch with family for coordination, so it wasn’t a complete detox, I imagine.
I’m planning to do a full one soon, even restricting myself from using the phone’s camera.
I'm on a laptop, most of the day - for work, for things like stacker news, more generalized entertainment.
I'm not too bad on my phone - I don't have any of the social apps installed, and just don't spend that much time on it. And when I'm out and about, I try to make a point of NOT being on my phone, unlike almost everyone else.
Messaging apps are tricky. Right now I'm using only sms for texting. I'm not a fan of it at all, though, and so don't find it addictive. But everyone uses it to plan get-togethers, so it seems it's either - text, or don't get together with people.
I use Slim Launcher, but apparently there's other launcher apps that make it easy to just allow usage of a few apps, and limit everything else.
