Benefits of Digital Detox

There are many advantages of digital usage like fast and efficient work, ease at work, constant communication with team etc. On contrary there are several benefits of digital detox too. It gives surprising results in a justified manner.

Let us discuss it briefly to have more clarity.

Improved health

Digital Detox results in better health. Both physical and mental health improves when we use less of the technology.

Restricting ourselves from digital usage gives us the chance to engage more with ourselves and our surroundings.

We become more alert mentally as we are now using more of our minds in solving the task. Now we are happier, less depressed, and away from anxiety as giving more time to our hobbies and loved ones.

Thus, digital detox results in improved mental and physical health.

Better focus

Our focus is undoubtedly increased by digital detox. We are used to looking for gadgets now and then, even in between important work. This affects our focus and makes us more impatient.

No more destractions so better focus.

Improved relationships

Even after the completion of work, we remain engaged with technology with our digital commitments. Either engage in looking at videos (may be informative, fun, or timepass), playing games, or talking with someone on the phone.

All of this affects our relationships in the long run. Close ones feel bad when technology takes their time and preferences.

Digital detox makes us understand the needs and care of our surrounding people. This way, it results in improved relationships.

More time for things you enjoy

After the use of technology, we prefer to remain in a virtual environment and talk. We assume ourselves away from the real world and technology engrossment makes us believe that we like and enjoy these things.

However, the reality is very different. After digital detox most of us will realize the things we enjoy are different, our hobbies are different and need attention and time too. Music, birds chirping, sunset view, or god knows what else we can enjoy by taking away time from the digital world.

Increased productivity

Digital detox results in increased focus and availability of more time. Both will result in more engagement with work and as an outcome there is increased productivity.

Better Sleep

Digital engagement is addictive resulting in sleepless nights. Since it grasps our attention by showing us things like our preferred choice of content on screen that is available digitally from our search data we forget the time of its usage.

This affects our sleeping patterns. Disengagement with it gives us better sleep. As we have our sleep routine maintained and no digital gadgets in the room will relax our minds for a good night’s sleep.
