Taking breaks from technology can help you recharge and reconnect with the world around you from "summary" of Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport

In a world where constant connectivity has become the norm, it's easy to forget the value of taking a break from technology. We often find ourselves glued to our screens, scrolling through social media or responding to emails, without realizing the toll it takes on our well-being. By stepping away from our devices, even for a short period, we give ourselves the opportunity to recharge and reconnect with the world around us. This break allows us to shift our focus from the virtual realm to the physical world, where we can engage with our surroundings and the people in our lives in a more meaningful way. When we are constantly plugged into technology, our attention becomes fragmented, and we may start to feel overwhelmed and disconnected. Taking a break gives us the chance to reset and refocus our minds, allowing us to be more present and engaged in our daily activities. Furthermore, disconnecting from technology can help us appreciate the simple pleasures of life that often go unnoticed when we are preoccupied with our screens. Whether it's taking a walk in nature, having a face-to-face conversation, or simply enjoying a moment of quiet reflection, these experiences can be rejuvenating and enriching.
  1. By intentionally taking breaks from technology, we can cultivate a deeper sense of connection with ourselves, others, and the world around us. This practice not only helps us recharge our mental and emotional energy but also allows us to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.
