Digital Detox: Reclaiming Your Attention in a Distracted World

The attention crisis

The average person checks their phone over 100 times a day. Each check costs you up to 20 minutes of refocus time.

A realistic detox plan

Week 1: Audit

Track where your time actually goes. Delete the two apps you use most without thinking.

Week 2: Boundaries

Turn off all non-human notifications. Schedule one check of social media in the morning, one in the evening.

Week 3: Replace

Fill the gaps with books, walks or a hobby. Boredom is where creativity starts.

The result

After three weeks, most people report better sleep, longer attention spans and less anxiety.
