A Creative Solution to Increasing the Quality of our Lives: Bagby
The rapid advancement of technology and our increasing reliance on digital devices has led to the growing need of reverting back to the pre-digital era. As we spend more time online, it's essential to ensure that we're taking care of our physical and mental health. Studies have shown that excessive screen time can lead to eye strain, poor posture, disrupted sleep patterns, and even anxiety and depression. In addition, excessive use of social media and other online platforms can be addictive and contribute to a sense of loneliness and disconnection from real-world relationships. Prioritizing digital wellness to prevent the negative effects of technology on our well-being is imperative. By setting healthy boundaries with our devices, taking breaks, and engaging in offline activities, we can maintain a healthy relationship with technology and promote overall wellness.
Bagby, a company founded by a couple in 2017, arose from the couple’s own need to connect better with each other—a need that was being hampered by the constant usage of their phones. Collectively, they decided to cease bringing their cellphones into their bedroom, and that’s where the idea of a brand—that utilized small physical items to inculcate digital wellness was born. Bagby’s mission is to decrease people’s screentime while increasing their human time.
Available on Babgy are some stunning, handcrafted digital wellness items that would aid in bringing our attention back to the people around us as opposed to away from them. The “Anti-Phubbing Bands” and the “No More Phubbing Bands” are the perfect way to prevent one from being constantly glued to their screens. A simple band, snug onto one’s phone, could help one build more meaningful relationships around themselves by allowing them to be in the present. Similarly, so could the “Look Up Lock Screen”, that let’s one customize their lock screen with their favorite person reminding them to look up from their phones!
Bagby also has the “Phone-Free Bedroom” phone pockets which gave birth to the idea of the company. These sleeping bags for your phones are snug pockets that can be hung on a door knob, away from the person going to bed. These little sleeping bags ensure a distraction-free sleep and even come with a strap that would help charge one’s phone! Also available are “Digital Free Alarm Clocks” in various finishes that substitute the need to use one’s smartphone as an alarm clock. Looking for a sleeping mask to aid you in falling asleep better? Bagby’s got your back! A full light-block out and lightweight sleeping mask is to your rescue!
