My Digital Detox Guide: Take control of your social media addiction, regain your peace of mind & double your productivity

Self-guided program that helps you achieve better focus, relaxation, and more constructive use of free time.

Are you procrastinating on creative projects while spending hours on social media “looking for inspiration”?

Do you feel like your phone is glued to your hand and you rarely put it down?

Do you find yourself falling into a cycle of refreshing the same apps over and over in hopes that something interesting will appear?

Are you overwhelmed by incoming messages and comments, and the notification sounds irritate you?

Do you feel nostalgic about the time when we used to control our technology, instead of it controlling us?

Technology fatigue is common. People are becoming more aware that their digital habits are out of control.

Awareness is the first step. But what can we do about it?

Gradually changing digital habits is a long and often unsuccessful process. We’re surrounded by too many temptations. It is too easy to say "let me just check this for a few minutes..." Those few minutes turn into hours, and we are back to square one.

Most people do not succeed in gradually and permanently changing their unhealthy digital habits. We need a drastic move that will shake things up.

Digital detox is a period of eliminating temptations and finding new ways to spend our free time.

Some people have a mini digital detox every weekend.

Some go on a month-long social media sabbatical every year.

There are many possible forms, and everyone can find one that best suits their lifestyle.

My Digital Detox is a 24-page guide that prepares you for a successful detox—however you define it—and supports you in choosing healthy activities that enrich your life.

Preparation is extremely important, because that’s how we can avoid temptations or replacing one unhealthy habit with another. Preparatory tasks include:

• Finding your biggest motivation and a reward for a completed detox.
• Examining your current habits and needs.
• Setting realistic rules that you will follow without exception.
• Important actions related to digital communication channels.
• Actions related to habits you want to strengthen.

The core digital detox program is quite simple, yet effective. Daily planning, check-ins, and quick journaling prompts help you notice how you’re sabotaging your own detox and using unhealthy replacement behaviors to fill the void. You’ll be able to course-correct each day, and learn a lot about your needs and habits that will empower you to develop a healthier relationship with media and technology even after the detox.
