Out from behind the glare of a mobile phone, laptop, or tablet, you’re more likely to slow down and live in the moment. Much like a vacation, a 'screencation' is an intentional break from your screens planned for a predetermined amount of time. When you take a screencation—whether you’re lazing at home or retreating to somewhere out in nature—you get a chance to connect with those around you, practice mindfulness, think deeper, and regain your own attention.
Try These 'Screencation' Tips:
- A book instead of an e-reader.
- A cookbook instead of your go-to recipes app.
- A board game, jigsaw, crossword, or Sudoku puzzle.
-
An outdoor walk around your neighborhood, a day hike, a bike ride, or even just sitting outside.
