Detox your way.
This experience has to work for your life. Here are some options we’ve tried. Choose from these or come up with your own way to participate.
Delete apps and take things back to 1995—only calls, texts, and your camera.
Quiet the noise and turn off notifications.
Decrease the pull by changing your screen to black and white.
Go old school and make room for in-person connection by deleting social media.
Leave your phone in your glove box overnight.
Ready. Set your intention. Go!
Have some hope. Take a moment and think about what you’re hoping this experience will bring you. Explore how you are feeling and what you hope to achieve before you start the phone fast.
Give your fan base a heads up. Let your friends, family, and coworkers know you’ll be taking a break. Have the kids in your life hold you accountable. They’ll take notice and learn from your example.
Plan for discomfort. It’s going to feel uncomfortable for a bit. That’s normal, and as the days go by, we found we actually began to feel more comfortable in our own skin.
Make some plans. With more free time ahead, planning how to use it can boost your success. Find fulfillment offline by self-care, napping, socializing, exploring new things, or enjoying adventures with the kids.
Check in nightly.
Be mindful of how you feel each day. Consider writing in a journal nightly to record your experience.
