Global Day of Unplugging
Sometimes it's good to disconnect from the electronic world and engage with the real world. Experience nature, talk to people and live life without screens, at least for a short while.
The Global Day of Unplugging, founded by the non-profit Jewish community Reboot in 2003, encourages people to disconnect from their electronic devices for 24 hours and spend time resting with family, friends, or alone. The campaign is currently run by the non-profit organization Unplug Collaborative. Celebrating this day involves simply disconnecting from the virtual world and observing the nature around us, spending time with loved ones, or taking time for self-reflection. Disconnecting can help reduce digital stress and promote mindfulness. It is important to inform others about your decision to unplug and set up automatic responses for emails and social media to avoid any negative consequences.
