Away from Technologies: The Best Ways to Arrange a Digital Detox

For a regular person, every single day starts with an alarm clock on a smartphone. Then, lots of kitchen gadgets are used. All day long is spent with a PC, cell phone, and other means of communication. Technologies surround people in every field of life and accompany each action and deed.

For entertainment, certainly, technological achievements are also of use. The Internet is the resource to find even the most extravagant way of relaxation. To spend a quiet evening at home, one may scan the adult cam sites list and choose the most alluring website for online dating. Indeed, online life is not less interesting than offline.

Yet, in recent times, people have realized the importance of digital detox. What does it mean? In order to keep the balance between real life and online presence, it is recommended to spend some time apart from a smartphone, Internet, and PC. It can be a challenging task as in every free minute, people even do not notice that the first thing they do is taking a cell phone.

Besides, reducing the time spent in front of a screen will help to maintain eyesight and body health, in addition to improving the psychological and emotional state.

Approaches to Escaping from Tech Addiction

1.The first step is to download a special app. It can be surprising that there is an application which controls the time spent on social networks and messengers. After reducing online time, each person will be astonished by the amount of time which has become available.

2.The next and more profound step is to travel somewhere. While a person is fully enjoying life around, there is no time for FB. Only a camera is needed. It is important not to upload the pics immediately to social networks.

3.The most extreme way is to go in a desolate place and to exclude using all the gadgets and equipment people are so used to in every-day routine.

What is the Designation of Digital Detox?

The biggest problem nowadays is that people are so absorbed by the Internet and technological achievements that there is no time to enjoy such simple things as the beauty of nature, smiling kids or a day spent outside. Every single day is almost the same: Monday to Friday with some diversion on weekends.

In the pursuit of happiness, achievements, and financial well-being, unfortunately, most humans forget that time flies. Hence, there is no need to spend all day off reading a book in order to improve financial education. Sometimes, it is better to relax, arrange a picnic or go on a short trip. The fresh brain generates ideas more efficiently. Besides, nature is one of the best sources of inspiration and relaxation.

Technological achievements and innovations have significantly facilitated and improved people's lives. However, they are not designed to replace the world around. These are accessories. It is important not to let them substitute a real life in the real world which is amusing, by the way.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
