When Screens Take Up Too Much Space

When Screens Take Up Too Much Space

When screens are with you from morning to night, an offline day can make room for rest, hobbies, and fresh ideas.

Notifications, messages, and open tabs can break your day into a stream of small interruptions. When you put your devices aside for a while, you may notice how often you reach for them without any particular reason. Instead of scrolling some more, you could go for a walk, read, cook, or spend time on a hobby you don’t usually have time for. It doesn’t have to be a perfect phone-free day—a mindful break and an activity that makes you feel good are enough.
