BOOK OVERVIEW

About this book

A sustainable digital detox is not a permanent rejection of technology. It is a reset of choice. The same phone that helps you work, navigate and connect can also become the automatic destination for boredom, discomfort and every spare second.

Digital Detox explains the attention economy, automatic checking, notification-driven interruption, information overload and the design features that remove natural stopping points. Readers build friction around unwanted use, simplify the home screen, protect focus, create phone-free zones, manage social media and news intentionally, establish messaging boundaries and build a digital sunset that protects sleep.

The book includes practical 7-day and 30-day reset structures designed to create a digital life that is useful, deliberate and realistic enough to maintain.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER

What you’ll discover inside

How attention-economy design and automatic checking turn spare moments into habitual screen use.

Why notifications create interruption costs even when you do not immediately respond.

How to use friction, scheduled connection windows and calmer device design to reduce impulsive checking.

Ways to protect sleep, relationships and focused work without abandoning useful technology.

A 7-day digital reset and 30-day sustainable plan for intentional technology use.
