Digital Detox: Why Less Screen Time Means More Life

Imagine a weekend without the internet and screens. What would appeal to you the most? Forget about time and go aimlessly into nature.
Call friends and organize a meeting together.
Take out an old notebook and start drawing or writing.
Clean up your space and "air out" your head.
Just being, without the need to do or share anything.

If someone takes your phone for a day, what will be your first reaction? I'm joking about it, but inside I'm nervous.
I will consider whether it is actually a gift.
I will start planning how to fill my day with offline activities.
I feel insecure, as if I have lost contact with the world.
I'll tell myself – finally peace.

Which statement resonates with you the most? "Silence is the new luxury."
"If you are not online, it's as if you don't exist."
"Real life begins when the screen goes dark."
"I only like technologies that save me time."
"I'm most afraid of boredom."

Where would you look for answers if you felt lost? In nature, where I clear my mind.
In a deep conversation with someone close.
Inside yourself through journaling or meditation
On the internet, by reading or watching other experiences.
In a new experience that will pull me out of routine.

How do you most often fall asleep? With a phone in hand or headphones in ears.
After a long scrolling and switching between apps
After reading a few pages of a physical book.
After quiet contemplation or gratitude.
Completely exhausted, with no awareness of how.

Which painting do you find the most calming? Morning by the lake, where silence is reflected.
A house full of laughter, without a single piece of technology.
A table full of paper, colors, notes, or ideas.
A forest path where no one can call you.
An empty chair with a view and a cup of tea.

How do you react when you realize that you've spent an hour on your phone aimlessly? Disappointment in oneself and an attempt to fix it immediately.
Self-criticism, but I won't change anything.
I'll take it as a signal that I am missing something.
I comfort myself with the fact that everyone is doing it.
I will analyze why it happened.

What is "presence" to you? Being with someone, without a phone on the table.
When I lose track of time while engaged in an activity that captivates me.
When I become aware of my breath and perception.
When I can look at myself from the outside.
When I don't feel the need to record or share something.

Imagine that you have to be offline for a whole week. What will you do first? I will plan a schedule to avoid procrastination.
I will call my relatives and let them know in advance.
I look forward to the inner peace that will come.
I'm starting to panic, how will I take care of important things?
I will prepare a list of offline activities that I have been postponing for a long time.

What does "digital freedom" mean to you? To have control over how much technology I allow into my life.
There is no need to check notifications every moment.
To be able to be in silence without the urge for entertainment.
Live in such a way that technology serves me, not I serve it.
Be authentic even when I'm not online.
