Our digital feeds, contacts, inboxes, LinkedIns and lives are too full of people we don't know anymore or are not serving our mindset...

3 quick things I'm doing:

• clean 25 'follows' on IG
• call one friend or family member I had a miscommunication with (less of a digital detox, more emotional)
• get to INBOX ZERO ...dun dun dun

That's helping me spend time on what matters, but it is more about emotional clarity than anything. 🦾

Remember that feeling when you break up with a toxic ex? 👀

Digital detox is a process that can make you a better thinker, writer, and communicator. 

Most of us spend a lot of our waking hours staring at screens. Whether it's our phones, laptops, or tablets, our digital lives aren't going away anytime soon. My digital detox has helped me be less distracted and more present.

Useless emails, overflowing inboxes and disorganized notes aren't fun. But those are just symptoms of a bigger problem: we're overloaded with information.

Our online life -- and our offline life, for that matter -- is built on a 21st-century model of information overload.

Information is cheap, useful and abundant. Everyone has access to it, and everybody has an opinion. But our brains are designed to handle a tiny fraction of that information. We have to filter and sort it, and our brains have limited space. As a result, we end up drowning in information. That's called information overload.

 But it also happens offline. We come home from a demanding day at work, and we're tired. But we also need to organize our time. So we need a way to dump the unnecessary information so we can focus, but be able to organize it when we come back.

A digital detox is the solution. A digital detox is a way to get away from all the digital noise.

It's a chance for you to focus on the things that really matter.

It's a chance to clear your inbox, organize your notes, and rethink your note-taking app.

It's a chance to deal with your Google Drive, and rethink your reliance on the cloud.

It's a chance to declutter your life.

It's a chance to slow down, think clearly, and be productive.

It's a chance to get back to feeling okay.
