Top 5 Digital Wellness tips

Following are Rijul’s top 5 tips & tricks on how he manages his Digital Wellness with his phone:

1. Intentional usage of Phone

   • No phones when connecting with others offline. Say no to ‘Phubbing’ (snubbing people in person with your phones)

2. Healthier usage of Phone

   • Calling people over text whenever possible

   • Video call with relationships whenever possible

   • Meeting people in person whenever possible

3. Analog Technology

   • Sleep with an old fashioned Analog Alarm Clock instead of Phones    

   • Use of Landline in the night or early morning: In case of any urgency in the night or early morning, close family members can reach out via Landline   

4. Minimalistic Phone     

   • Black & White Phone Display (Grayscale)

   • No Notifications except this app called “Motivation” (which provides nudges on motivational quotes)

   • No Social Media apps

   • No News Apps

5. Healthy Boundaries with Phones

   • Out of Sight Out of Mind: Keep phones out of sight when he wants to focus & get work done

   • No phones first thing in the morning or last thing in the night

This has enabled Rijul to improve the quality of his Relationships, Sleep, Time, life, health & overall well-being.

That being said, what works for one person might not work for another as everyone’s Digital Wellness & routines are different. But you won’t know until & unless you start trying & practicing with your Digital Wellness.
