The average American spends more than four hours on their smartphones each day, but only about 5% of Americans spend less than an hour a day on their phones. Reducing the amount of time spent on electronic devices can create an opportunity to focus more on meaningful interactions with other people and nature. A digital detox — stepping back from using tech devices such as smartphones, televisions, computers tablets and social media sites — also may help improve physical and mental well-being, boost creativity and increase your attention span. Forgoing digital devices, even temporarily, can be a significant way to avoid the stress that stems from constant connectivity.
