Navigating Digital Detox: Tips for Reducing Screen Time

Does your phone know you better than your best friend?

If you’ve caught yourself scrolling endlessly through cat memes at midnight, or worse, realizing you’ve double-tapped your ex’s vacation photo from 2015 (yikes!), then you might need a digital detox. By the end of this post, you’ll learn how to reclaim your time, reset your focus, and perhaps even rediscover what grass looks like IRL (spoiler: it’s still green).

The Tale of the Reluctant Scroller

Meet Maya, a modern-day professional with a smartphone glued to her hand. Every morning, she promised herself: “I’ll spend less time on my phone today.”

By 10 a.m., she’d already fallen down a TikTok rabbit hole. By noon, she was googling, “How to break up with your phone without hurting its feelings.” Maya isn’t alone.

Studies show that the average adult spends about 7 hours a day staring at screens. That’s nearly half your day – or as we like to call it, an unintentional full-time job.

But don’t worry; Maya turned things around. How? With a solid digital detox plan that didn’t involve running off to a cabin in the woods. And you can, too.

Step 1: Identify Your Triggers

Are you scrolling because you’re bored, anxious, or just trying to avoid work emails? Understanding your triggers is like finding the kryptonite to your screen addiction. Pro tip: Keep a journal to track when and why you’re glued to your devices. It’s like detective work, except the culprit is you.

Step 2: Set Tech-Free Zones

Create sacred spaces where screens are off-limits. The dinner table, your bedroom, or, for the daring, your bathroom. Yes, this means no more doom-scrolling on the toilet.

Bonus: your posture will thank you.

Step 3: Embrace the Art of JOMO

FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is so last season. Enter JOMO (Joy of Missing Out). While others are glued to their screens arguing about pineapple on pizza, you could be savouring the silence of a good book, or better yet, learning to bake a pineapple-free pizza.

Step 4: Use Apps to Fight Apps

Ironically, technology can help you detox from technology. Apps like “Forest” grow a virtual tree every time you stay off your phone, turning your productivity into a digital garden. It’s gamification meets guilt trip, and it works.

Step 5: Schedule Screen Time

Remember how mom used to ration out TV hours? Be your own mom. Set specific times for social media, Netflix, and email-checking. Stick to them like your sanity depends on it – because it kind of does.

The Payoff: Life Beyond the Screen

After following these steps, Maya found herself with extra hours each day. She joined a pottery class, started jogging, and even rediscovered the joys of people-watching without needing to swipe right. The best part? She stopped measuring her self-worth in likes and retweets.

Time to Take the Leap

Your phone won’t hate you for a little distance – it’s a machine, after all. But you might just find that a little detox brings clarity, creativity, and a much-needed break from the noise of the digital world.

Over to you! What’s your biggest screen-time temptation, and how do you plan to conquer it? Drop your thoughts in the comments – bonus points for humour! Let’s swap stories and tips on navigating this digital jungle together.

How Does Super Bulldog Help?

In the Super Bulldog book, we aim to instill the following values in children:

Healthy Eating: Super Bulldog teaches children the importance of eating fruits, vegetables, and balanced meals instead of fast food and processed foods. The story emphasizes that Super Bulldog’s heroic powers largely come from his healthy diet.

Regular Exercise: Super Bulldog shows children that playing outdoors and doing sports can be more enjoyable than sitting in front of a screen. He explains how exercise is essential for both physical and mental health.

Social Connections: In the book, Super Bulldog guides children toward real friendships rather than just screen-based ones. He encourages them to improve their social skills by showing them how much fun they have while playing and communicating with each other.

Is Your Child Addicted to Screens? 5 Alarming Signs You Can’t Ignore! 📱⚠️

Hello! I saw your post just now, in which you said you don't watch telly! And I know this propably isn't in the theme of your blog, but may I ask how you do that?

Long story short: I'm a creative person myself, but always struggle with screenaddiction. I need several blocking extensions to keep me 'in check' when I surf.

I was wondering if not watching telly comes easy to you, it's just not something you're interested in, or if it's an active choice you made for yourself, and if so: what measures did you take/ things did you do to prevent yourself from watching telly/ scrolling instead of being creative?

Thank you for your time, and apologies for the anon, I got shy 😊

No need to apologise, anon is fine <3

So firstly, I don’t watch telly, but that doesn’t mean I’m not in front of a screen. To answer the telly thing... I grew up in front of the tv, and I don’t necessarily think tv is bad or anything - and you know, each to their own. But as I got older I got more and more annoyed (angry maybe?) at advertising, and at being fed content designed to reel me in to watch ads.So I watched it less and less over the years and just got out of the habit. These days our tv isn’t even plugged in to the antenna, and I don’t subscribe to any services (ie nteflix etc). I do own movies, and sometimes after dinner my man and I will watch a movie from our collection. But that’s it for the telly.

Now the screen thing. I am a gamer! I have played computer games my whole life, and I go through periods where I play a LOT. I’m not currently in that mode, but I’ll still fire up a game sometimes when I’m tired or to relax. Pew pew.

I watch a few arty/creator types on youtube. I have my favourites, and check out any new videos when they are posted. It’s usually the kind of thing I can still stitch/make while I watch. But that’s probably only like three hours a week.

I do interact with social media on my phone/computer a bit. Mainly tumblr :D but a little insta (less and less these days), a little blueky now, a little reddit. But if I want to avoid that, I just leave my phone in another room when I’m crafting. That helps. I just pop it on my bedstand or something.

All if this is MUCH easier because I live with only one other person, and they are also a gamer rather than a tv person. (I mean, that’s not a coincidence, we are together in a large part because we love games!) But if you’re surrounded by others and piling on the couch together to watch telly is a thing, then it’s hard to opt out of that.

But I guess for me it was a gradual thing, so small steps is okay if you’re trying to step away from your screen a bit. Good luck! and hugs <3!

Common sense is “that forgotten branch of psychology,” observed philosopher G.K. Chesterton in the early 1900s. One could wonder what he’d say today, with “psychology” — which means “study of the soul” — being both soulless and ubiquitous.

Smartphones and gadgets do a lot to bring us closer together. They are also a cause of disconnect with people immediately around us. Anyone with a teenager will attest to this issue - so much communication 'out there', so little at home. A day a week without the phone is the kind of technology-dieting some people are increasingly employing. To put our gadgets away for periods of time through the day, is also a welcome strategy - especially dinner time with the family. After all, technology was supposed to serve us - yet we seem to have become enslaved by it! Find a little freedom, look up...smile. There is a world outside of the screen. #technologydieting #screenaddiction #putawayyourphone #socialconnections #bepresent #solihullwellbeingclinic https://www.instagram.com/p/CH8ERlShAzQ/?igshid=ywtm1vayutn8
