I chose options 2 and 4 for my digital detox. For option 2, I avoided using my phone for the first few hours after waking up each day, and this made my mornings more productive. For option 4, I put my phone on “Do Not Disturb” mode to focus on final projects for most of my classes. My friends always said I couldn’t live without my phone, but I proved them wrong—at least I got off to a good start this Thanksgiving. This detox helped me improve my attention span and made me realize I could enjoy activities like nature walks instead of constantly swiping on my phone. I plan to continue this detox for the long term.
