Digital detox
It's the same picture everywhere: on the train, at the bus stop, in the café. People stare at their screens and are no longer aware of their real surroundings because of all the digital distractions. It's every man for himself. Interpersonal, social and communicative habits are increasingly being lost. The feeling of having to be constantly available and not wanting to miss anything leads to constant use of and dependence on the online world.
It's time to simply switch off for a while and slow down. To do a digital detox. A detox from digital permanence. No smartphone, no laptop, no tablet.
Consciously taking a break from being online all the time is a sensible thing that everyone should consider. With these 5 tips for the offline and online world, you can achieve a digital detox:
- Flight mode on: In a meeting or during a lecture, simply switch your device to flight mode and the urge to check it every minute will disappear. Incidentally, this tip also works when you're having coffee with friends.
- Unfriend and delete: Remove random acquaintances and annoying permanent posters from your online friends list. Your timeline will be clearer, smaller and more attractive. The same applies to apps: delete unnecessary games, news or lifestyle applications that you hardly ever use.
- Offline bedroom: Do you reach for your smartphone first thing when you wake up and last thing before you go to sleep? Change that and make your bedroom a gadget-free offline zone.
- Rest and time: Many of us spend several hours online every day. During a digital detox, you suddenly realize how much time you have left for other (more important) things. Enjoy this new peace and time. Go for a walk, read a book, write a to-do list (with pen and paper, of course) or simply spend more time with family and friends.
- Detox vacation: The best days of the year without the internet and smartphone? Try going offline for a few days during your vacations and do without WLAN and the like.
