How to Plan a Screen-Free Day

Practical tips can help you plan an offline day, choose screen-free activities, and manage those moments when you instinctively reach for your phone.

Start simple: choose a period of time to put your phone away, and plan something else to do in advance. You could go for a walk, visit the library, bake something, or work on a hobby project. If you need to stay reachable, make sure your loved ones know how to contact you in an emergency. When you feel the urge to check your device, pause for a moment and carry on with what you’ve chosen to do. Your offline day doesn’t have to go perfectly; what matters is finding an approach that works for you.
