Good Morning,
Happy ChooseDay! 🎉 With school holidays upon us, it’s the perfect time to unplug and recharge—literally!
We’re all so connected to our devices, but sometimes the best way to reconnect with ourselves, our families, and our surroundings is by stepping away from the screens. 🌿
According to Time To Log Off:
📱 8 hours 41 minutes—that’s the average time adults spend on screens daily, more than time spent sleeping.
🧠 There's a link between increased screen time and mental health struggles, especially in young people.
📈 As phone use rises, so does anxiety.
🐟 Our attention spans have dropped lower than a goldfish’s in the last 11 years due to smartphones.
😴 95% of adults use screens before bed, which suppresses melatonin by up to 22%, harming sleep quality.
😊 Staying off all social media for a week has been shown to increase happiness.
Taking a digital detox offers incredible benefits for your mental health and overall well-being. Here’s why it’s good to take a break from tech:
🧘 Reduced Stress: Less screen time means less information overload. Unplugging helps you relax and stay present.
🌟 Improved Focus: Disconnecting helps sharpen your attention and boosts creativity.
🛌 Better Sleep: Reducing screen time—especially before bed—promotes more restful sleep.
🤗 Stronger Connections: Time away from devices encourages face-to-face interactions and deeper bonds with loved ones.
Ideas for Your Digital Detox 🌱
Whether you're spending time with family, friends, or just yourself, here are a few ways to unplug and make the most of your screen-free moments:
Outdoor Adventures: Go for a walk, hike, or picnic in the park. Nature has a way of clearing the mind. 🌳
Board Game Night: Trade in your apps for some classic board games with family or friends. 🎲
Read a Book: Pick up that book you’ve been meaning to read and lose yourself in a good story. 📚
Get Creative: Try drawing, painting, or journaling—anything that lets your mind wander freely. 🎨
Mindfulness & Meditation: Take 10 minutes to sit quietly, focus on your breath, and enjoy the peace of the present moment. 🧘
Unplugging with Your Team 🤝
This is a great opportunity to encourage your colleagues to take a collective digital detox. Why not suggest a screen-free lunch break or a team outdoor activity? It’s a fun way to build camaraderie while recharging your minds. 💼
Let this school holiday season be a reminder that the world doesn’t revolve around our screens—there's so much joy to be found in the offline world. 🌞
Challenge yourself: Take a few hours, or even a whole day, to disconnect from devices and experience the benefits of living in the moment. Encourage your family, friends, and teammates to do the same! 💪
Wishing you a refreshing and screen-free ChooseDay!
With unplugged vibes,
The GoodCompany team
