It's bad for your brain not to unplug.
From time to time, I've experimented with sculpture or metal design. It's a good break from just sitting behind the keyboard.
I want to be able to leave my phone at home.
Time off from the news is always something I welcome.
I got rid of Twitter, and I got rid of Facebook.
I delete the Twitter app during the season.
I'm actually a big fan of turning off my phone and ignoring it for large chunks of the day.
I find it refreshing to unplug from it for a while. You kind of forget how deeply you get embedded in it.
A 'social media fast' is a fast, I suppose like any other. In this case, you're simply giving up whether it be a device or a particular type of social media site. And I do this at least once weekly.
We're all drowning in data. We all need moments of recovery. For me, that includes not going right to my phone when I wake up in the morning.
I stopped using Twitter for a while just because I got sick of it and I started using it again, but I don't check the "mentions."
