Thank you, Ishieta. Zen mode is a feature on mobile phones which allows us to take a break for a selected time. Do check if you have this feature & give it a try.

I agree, Noor. Now is the time to go all-digital since work is pouring in from all directions. But, for our mental well being it’s our responsibility to choose wisely, there has to be a work-life balance. I usually take long breaks when we are travelling & I don’t take any work assignments during that time. Other than that, weekends are my off days when I prefer to take a digital break. But now under lockdown, weekends have become working days for me hence I’m taking small breaks on a daily basis and 24 hr digital detox once a month.

Digital detox is necessary for all of us to stay away from social media and refresh our mind. Every week, i do take a day off social media.

I agree with you a digital detox is such an important aspect of our health!
I am intrigued by your idea of the zen mode on the phone – what is this exactly?
I too have taken up the habit of only looking at my phone during designated times!
2 weeks – now that is really daring of you! but i can see it has obviously tremendously boosted you up.

I can so relate to your initial stress and anxiety Neha, I have often felt the same and now get in social media only for limited time slots. All my notifications are muted and I am guilty of missing some important messages too because it this but this how in like it

Agree with your points. In the start of lockdown my screen time increases and I feel lost. But when I started digital detox for a day i started feel better

The idea of a digital detox is very important. I have been following it for the past 2 years and it really improves the way of living in a much positive way. During these times when kids are at home all day, we need to follow it more often.
