Digital Declutter

Step-by-step processes:

  1. Put aside 30 days to take a break from technologies that are not essential.
  2. Use these 30 days to learn new skills, activities, and behaviors that you find meaningful.
  3. At the end of the break, you can start reintroducing technologies by starting with your blank slate.
  4. For each technology you reintroduce, you must determine the value it serves in your life and how you will maximize this value.

Don't view this as detox. Instead, use this time to learn about yourself and your relationship with technology. Use it as a period to improve your relationship with the digital world.
