Technology is just a part of life. But all that phone and email checking, gaming, or working on a computer can really take a toll. As in most aspects of life, setting boundaries is generally healthy.
You might have healthier eyes – less strain and dry eyes.
You can spend more quality time with family and friends.
You might be more productive and happier by separating work life and home life.
Your sleep, and the rest you get, might improve.
Your memory might improve when you depend less on devices to remember for you.
You might be less stressed. Social media can be depressing, frustrating, or dividing.
Tips
Here are some suggestions to be device-free for at least a little while each day.
Put your devices in another room when you are sleeping. Or better yet, turn them off.
Eat meals without devices.
Get out Grandma’s cookbook and try making a favorite recipe.
Play games – old-fashioned board games – with family and friends.
Exercise or play sports.
Set boundaries. Allow only a set amount of time to be on devices each day.
