For this weekend, I am going to choose the easy digital detox path. The dance concert is next week, and I will have to stay pretty online this weekend regarding tech and other concerns. Otherwise, one platform I will try and limit my use of is Instagram, since I feel that I do not get much out of the app every time I log on. What takes up most of my screen time normally is TikTok, Spotify, and Messages- this weekend I will try and limit my TikTok usage as well.

I feel like I did meet my digital detox goal by simply getting more sleep. I think that normally, I view going on social media as a “break”, when in reality it is not making me more relaxed. Again, this made me realize that what I am considering breaks are not really so, and going forward will prioritize things such as sleep, not going on my phone. For Thanksgiving break, I will try my best to spend my time truly relaxing and spending time with my family, not doing things like watching television. Overall (even though I felt like I didn’t do a true detox since I had so much homework) I think this experience taught me a lot of valuable lessons.
