Embracing Digital Detoxes: Strategies and Benefits for a Screen-Free Life

TL;DR Summary
Digital detoxes, which involve reducing or abstaining from digital device use, can improve mental health, reduce stress, and enhance attention, especially when practiced for at least one to two weeks. Partial detoxes, like limiting social media or daily phone use, are often more effective and sustainable than complete abstinence, and incorporating non-digital activities can further boost benefits. Small, manageable changes in digital habits are recommended over extreme measures for better long-term wellbeing.
