Screen-Free Time
[skreen-free tahym]
What Is Screen-Free Time?
Screen-Free Time refers to intentional periods when a person completely disconnects from all digital devices and screens, including smartphones, computers, tablets, and TVs, to engage in non-digital activities and experiences.
Word Origins:
The term combines "screen" (from the display component of electronic devices) and "free" (meaning without or liberated from), emerging in popular usage during the late 2000s as concerns about excessive screen time began growing in modern society.
Benefits of Screen-Free Time
Screen-Free Time offers numerous benefits including improved sleep quality, reduced eye strain, better mental focus, enhanced real-world connections, and decreased anxiety levels. Regular practice can help reset your relationship with technology and reduce digital dependency.
How to Implement Screen-Free Time
Start with designated screen-free periods like meals or the first hour after waking up. Gradually expand to longer durations like screen-free evenings or weekend mornings. Create screen-free zones in your home, particularly bedrooms and dining areas, and plan engaging offline activities to fill the time.
