Day 120: Tech Detox

What might a tech detox look like for you?

This weekend, my WiFi went out. And our data was maxed out. And suddenly I realized, I had no access to the internet. No falling onto the couch after kid bedtime to watch HBO. No catching up on the news. No streaming the retreat I had planned or participating in the Yoga with Adriene challenge.

I generally practice and preach moderation with my tech use, but this was true a blackout moment. I took it one step further and turned my phone OFF. And while unnerving, it was also wonderful. There was nowhere else to go and nowhere else to be (mentally).

It inspired me to try on a tech detox for the month of February (yes, an intentionally short month). For me, this means:

*no streaming shows

*no scrolling

*no carrying my phone all over the house with me

*turning my phone completely for chunks of time during the day.
