Digital Detox: Reduce Distractions and Boost Focus

A digital detox, in this guide's telling, is not about throwing your phone in the sea. Eight chapters take you from measuring where your screen time actually goes, through boundaries and practical detox strategies, to a lasting, balanced way of using technology on your own terms. Nothing here asks you to give up your devices - only to decide when they get your attention.

What's inside

• What distraction does to your attention, including task-switching costs and the "attention residue" left behind by a quick reply
• Auditing your own habits with a screen-time report and a week-long digital diary, and naming the triggers behind the pick-up
• What the book says you get back by unplugging - focus, calmer evenings, real conversations, offline hobbies, creativity and time
• Nine boundaries to set: tech-free zones, time limits, notification control, screen-free rituals, a digital curfew and mindful checking
• Ten everyday detox strategies, from starting with 15-minute breaks and a device parking spot to a social media fast and a weekly digital sabbath
• Mindfulness practices for attention: box breathing, single-tasking, mindful walks and meals, and a short evening reflection
• Getting things done without a screen, using pen and paper, deep work blocks, a Big Three list, time blocking, Pomodoro and analog planning tools
• Keeping the balance long term with digital priorities, intentional use, daily rituals, weekly resets and the joy of missing out
