Thinking of doing a "digital detox" for a weekend. No phone, no social media, no Garmin connect. Just training and living. Has anyone tried this? Did it actually help your mindset or just make you anxious?
I do this once a quarter! The first few hours are weird, you keep checking your pocket. But by the second day, it's bliss. My sleep improves and my stress levels plummet. Highly recommend.
I can't go full detox (need my head unit for data), but I do a "social media" detox every weekend. I delete the apps on Friday afternoon and re-install Monday. Stops the endless scrolling and comparison.
Just turning off notifications is a good first step. I found the full detox too much, but having no pop-ups or buzzes means I check my phone on *my* terms, not its terms.
The "social media detox" seems like a good middle ground. Might try that first. Cheers!
