The National Day of Unplugging is on March 4 this year, and is a day designated for taking a break from all things technology. I’ll be the first to admit that over the past year as we have stayed home, I find myself on my phone scrolling social media or binging the latest Netflix show far more than I ever have before. While technology has been wonderful to stay connected as we stay apart, I also am craving some time to unplug and reset a bit. Motivated by National Unplugging Day, I decided to make a list of all the things I always wish I had time for (and probably do if I’d put my phone down more…) to get excited about as we keep technology turned off for 24 hours.
If you’re feeling a bit overloaded by technology these days and think you’d like a day off, this list is for you, too!
