5 easy tips to combat digital addiction

Scrolling through social media updates, watching reels for hours, instantly checking notifications, and constantly being on the phone can give us a dopamine rush but can also be addictive and reduce our productivity. One effective way to combat digital addiction is by going on a digital detox for a period of time. Here are some tips to help you start your digital detox journey:

  1. Reorganize App Locations: Moving social media apps from the home screen to a folder or another screen can make them less accessible and reduce the temptation to check them frequently.
  2. Set App Usage Timers: Download apps that allow you to set time limits on how long you can use certain social media apps or your phone in general. Commit to adhering to these timers.
  3. Delete Problematic Apps: Temporarily delete social media apps that you spend too much time on until your digital detox is complete.
  4. Create Phone-Free Zones and Times: Establish specific areas or times at home where phones are not allowed. This can help you disconnect from your device and connect more with your family.
  5. Stay Focused During Interactions: When working or interacting with family members, make a conscious effort to keep your phone away to maintain focus and presence.
