Screen Time & Digital Detox

Here are some tips to help you do a digital detox.

1. Remove distractions: the four burners theory—your four burners are family, friends, health, and work. Anything that is not essential to your four burners should be removed.

2. Don't glamorize busyness: we are proud of being busy—take time for what really makes you happy.

3. Always ask "why" when you pull out your phone... more often than we think, we use our phones to distract, to avoid, or to ignore whatever is happening right in front of us.

4. Try using the rule of thirds: Divide your life into thirds—8 hours for work, 8 hours for sleep, and 8 hours—more work often leads to less productivity.

5. Periodically, fast from electronics for an entire week—once in the spring and once in the fall.
