In our hyper-connected daily lives, we all spend a lot of time in front of our screens. Whether it's for work, entertainment or keeping in touch, it's become difficult to disconnect. Yet by reducing our screen time, we can regain a better quality of life, both mentally and physically. Here are a few tips on how to live better without (or with fewer) screens.
1. Create screen-free zones
Define areas of your home where the use of screens is prohibited. For example, the bedroom and dining room can become "screen-free zones" to encourage relaxation and moments of sharing with loved ones. Limiting screens in these rooms can also improve your sleep and make mealtimes more pleasant and convivial.
2. Plan activities to disconnect from screens
Fill your schedule with activities that don't require screens: reading, gardening or cooking are excellent options for relaxing. You can also explore new hobbies such as painting, music, hiking or DIY. These activities allow you to discover new passions and skills, while enriching your daily life.
3. Get moving!
Physical activity is an effective way of reducing screen time, and it also improves our general well-being. Whether you opt for a daily walk, a gym session, yoga or even outdoor games, getting moving will help you feel better physically and mentally. And as an added bonus, exercise releases endorphins, which contribute to a happier mood and reduced stress.
4. Try screen time management applications
There are apps designed to set limits and alert you when your screen time quota is reached. Some even offer detailed reports to help you better understand your habits and adjust them if necessary. These tools are invaluable in helping you become aware of your usage and regain control of your time.
5. Adopt screen-free morning and night routines
Start and end your day away from screens! Using a classic alarm clock instead of your phone avoids the temptation to check your notifications as soon as you wake up. If you take public transport, resist the urge to check your social networks. Instead, listen to music, an inspiring podcast or read a book. In the evening, choose relaxing activities like a hot bath or a yoga session. Leave screens behind before bedtime and enjoy a good book for a better quality of sleep. This also allows you to disconnect from work, by avoiding the temptation to check your e-mails, and thus promotes a better work-life balance.
6. Encourage face-to-face interaction
Prioritize face-to-face time over virtual exchanges. Organize outings with friends or family to strengthen your ties and enjoy quality time together. These face-to-face encounters help reduce the stress of digital isolation and improve your emotional well-being.
Let yourself be surprised by the benefits of a life less connected and richer in experiences!🧘♀️📴
