Digital detox

Why less screen time is good for you.
In a world where smartphones, laptops and tablets dominate our everyday lives, it’s hard to break away from screens. But this can have a positive impact on our health, well-being and productivity. A conscious ‘digital detox’ – taking time out from digital devices – has many benefits.
How can you achieve a digital detox?
- Set screen-free times: e.g. one hour before going to bed or when eating.
- Switch off push notifications to have fewer distractions.
- Use social media more consciously instead of scrolling aimlessly.
- Introduce one ‘offline day’ per week to switch off completely.
- Discover hobbies without a screen, such as reading, sport or meditation.
Conclusion: less is more
A digital detox does not mean doing without technology completely, but rather using it more consciously. Less screen time improves mental and physical health – and ensures a better quality of life.
