Time to Unplug: A 7-Day Smartphone Detox
/
Not your normal juice cleanse or a whole foods detox, but a relevant detox none-the-less. I'm way to attached to my smartphone and other technological devices. I check instagram, Facebook, snapchat, email and even Yelp far too many times during the day. First thing when I wake up, again while I eat breakfast, on my way to class, during class, last thing before I fall asleep...you get the idea. I can't even put my phone down to watch a TV show these days, I'm in a constant state of multi-tasking and it's time I get a grip.
I think everyone can relate to this addiction. Join me this week in a little smartphone detox. If you are one of the lucky ones getting the new iPhone 6 this may be hard for you, but let's take on the challenge. POPSUGAR created a 7-day detox giving you a small step each day to help weed you off being on your phone so much. I started yesterday, but jump in with me today and let's give it a whirl.
Monday:
Unfollow people who aren't your real friends, unsubscribe from unwanted email lists, and delete apps you don't use.
Tuesday:
Turn off push notifications.
Wednesday
Resist the urge to look at your phone first thing in the morning.
Thursday:
Set up a charging station outside of your bedroom, and don't look at your phone an hour before bed.
Friday:
Go out to dinner, and leave your phone at home.
Saturday:
Spend the day not looking at or posting to social media.
