I've personally done this with detoxes before as part of my mindfulness practice and as part of my teacher training. What we often do when we're practicing mindfulness is that we choose to put away our smartphones, laptops, anything to do with technology and also decide not to get in touch with anyone on the phone for example for a day. Unless we have emergencies or important phone calls to make. What also happens on mindfulness retreats sometimes is that we decide to be silent which is probably what I describe as sort of a next level in terms of a digital detox. I remember when I first started doing these retreats and started doing the silence and the detox that I used to feel quite uncomfortable. It was quite interesting that I'd always go in prepared and I'd think this is going to be easy and about halfway through the day I'd miss being on social media or I'd miss taking the news for example but in general by the end of the day I just feel much more grounded and I'd feel always better in myself for not having to always be checking what's going on in the world. And so every so often if you're inclined to do so i definitely recommend a digital detox.
