What participants say:

  • Creating not Consuming

    Instead of going on my phone, I edited videos for my band’s social media accounts. I felt more productive and satisfied with how I spent that time than if I had been doom-scrolling. - E.A.

  • Energizing VS Depleting

    Despite rock climbing being an exhausting exercise, I felt more energized when I got home. I thought this was an interesting observation because when I spend the same amount of time on TikTok, I feel completely exhausted, both mentally and physically. - K.I.

  • Freedom

    I felt as if I had finally been unchained. The hold that these apps had on me was finally released. - A.G.

  • Scrolling is Pointless

    The first time I went on social media after the detox week was over, I was only on Instagram for a few minutes because I quickly got bored with it. I thought to myself, ”What’s the point?” - E.A.

  • Clarity + Focus

    By the end of the detox, I had gained a clearer understanding of just how much of my focus was being siphoned away by platforms. - E.D.

  • Yoga for the Brain

    I went to yoga after work and for the first time in a long time my brain felt very quiet. I wasn't struggling to relax and my brain wasn’t buzzing like it normally is. - E.A.
