Here’s a few ways to simply change your outlook
on your usage of technology, and scale back
on the time spent looking down, rather than
looking up.
1. Track your consumption. Some phones are
built with features that track your usage. Find one that
alerts you when your time is up for the day and sends
diagnostics to you once a week.
2. Be person first. The next time you’re out to
lunch, sitting across the dinner table with loved ones,
notice if you’re phone-first or person-first. It seems
like a small thing to say, “I just have to answer this text
quick.” However, it’s a bigger act to not respond to the
message, and remain present with the person in front
of you. You help create a new normal.
3. Unplug for 24 hours, sundown to sundown.
Notice what happens. What do you fill your time with?
Are you able to connect more deeply, enjoy your meals,
and even find time for rest? Find a day that works, and be
disciplined in it.
4. Create better habits. Have cut-off points. Instead
of remaining on your phone until you go to sleep, try
turning your phone off an hour (or more) ahead of sleep.
Try to not scroll on it first thing in the morning.
5. Return to simpler times. Get outside. Have a grill
out. Play kickball or cards or a board game. See how
great you are at hopscotch, all these years later. Have
fun, without the screen.
