Why More People Are Choosing Digital Detox Weekends

Constant notifications have made rest feel harder than ever. A growing number of people are blocking out entire weekends with little or no screen time.

What a detox weekend looks like

Most plans are simple: turn off non-essential notifications, tell close contacts how to reach you in an emergency, and fill the time with offline activities like swimming, cooking or meeting friends.

Making it last

The benefit is not only the weekend itself. Many people use it to notice which apps they actually miss and which ones they can remove for good.
