Do you ever wonder what you could be doing instead when you're not checking your newsfeed on social media or your email? Why not give it a try. Put in a little downtime that might even become a new digital habit!
These four tips will help you do just that:
Create a list of your connected devices (phone, tablet, computer, smartwatch, etc.) and all the online services (apps) they use on each device.
How much time do you realistically want to spend on each device? This will help you manage your time better and leave you more time for personal contact without distractions from social networks or the like.
Change your habits gradually! It's best to reduce the duration or frequency of media use and set fixed online and offline times (e.g., when you check your mail). When you reach your intermediate goals, you can define further goals and implement them. This step-by-step method will help you achieve lasting change.
