In today’s fast-paced, hyper-connected world, digital technology is both a necessity and a challenge. We rely on devices to work, learn, socialize, shop, and even unwind. But as screens take up more of our waking hours, maintaining a healthy relationship with technology has never been more important. That’s where digital well-being comes in. An intentional practice of using digital tools in ways that support rather than hinder your overall health.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by screen time, drained by social media, or distracted by endless notifications, you’re not alone. Managing your digital well-being is not about giving up tech, it’s about making it work for you. Take the first step of your digital wellbeing journey by auditing your habits. 

Audit Your Digital Habits

Bring awareness to your digital habits by taking inventory of how, when, and why you use technology. Most smartphones now include built-in screen time trackers that break down your usage by app and activity. Ask yourself:

  • How many hours am I on my phone each day?

  • Which apps consume most of my time?

  • How do I feel after using certain platforms?

By identifying digital behaviors that lead to stress, distraction, or fatigue, you’ll be better equipped to make meaningful changes. Get started today!
