Why we need to Switch Off.

by TheRationalThinker on January 18, 2024 posted in Blog

There are just not enough hours in the day!! We all say it.
 
Maybe we should start using the 24 hours we get more wisely first.

Some mindboggling stats:

“The average person spends 2 hours and 24 minutes on social media every day.

The average American checks their mobile device 159 times a day.

Users will spend 4 trillion hours on social media this year.”

Awkward facts that we do not want to reflect on at the same time..

We live and work in a hyper-connected world, where others expect us to be available 24/7, check our social media feeds instantly and e-mail rules the workplace.

We are switching our attention constantly, struggling to find focus or achieve any kind of flow state where inspiration and productivity are at their peak.

Because we are making it hard for ourselves!

We need to stop allowing social media to steal time away from ourselves.

Switching off regularly will help us regain control..

Put your phone away when you are with others (they’ll appreciate it!).

Get comfortable not responding instantly (it’s liberating!).

Take a social media break for even a single day (you won’t miss it!).

Invest the hours you save on the things that actually matter to you..

Work-out, write or read, spend time with friends& family or just do absolutely nothing and enjoy being bored once in while.
