hour, young women are least able to imagine life without their

the instant messages, rings, and vibration as Jovago.com, Africa's No.1 hotel booking portal shares 6 fascinating ways you can digitally detox.
- Leave your phone at home
If
you are going for a romantic date or on a day out with friends, you
should leave your phone at home so that you can enjoy your date without
any distraction. With your phone in your hands, you may end up
concentrating more on your phone than your date.
- Fix a time to switch off
For
most people, this is impossible. However, if you are serious about
digitally detoxifying, you should fix a time to switch your phone. This
doesn’t necessarily mean that you should switch off your phone during
peak periods but putting it off at nights is a great idea.
- Make your bedroom a gadget-free zone
The
first thing that some tech geeks do when they open their eyes is to
check their phone. One way to stop this is to remove all gadgets
especially your smartphone from your room. This will make it possible
for you to sleep early and soundly.
- Set your emails to out of office
Every
second you check your email whether you are in the office or not. This
will make your email part of you such that you do not feel complete if
you do not log into your email. To reduce this attachment, you should
set your emails to ‘out of office’. This way, the person sending the
mail wouldn’t expect an immediate response from you except you are in
the office.
- Tell your friends of your whereabout
Switching
off or leaving your phone at home could get your colleagues and friends
worried. In other to prevent this from happening, the best you can do
is to inform them of your whereabouts. Don’t just switch off or leave
your phone at home all in the name of digitally detoxifying.
- Reduce idle web surfing
It
is normal for you to browse the web during your free time. But if
browsing the web becomes what you use to pass time, especially when you
are idle, you should be concerned. Rather than browsing the web, you
can sleep, read a book or even go hang out with your friends.
