How to overcome your device dependency and manage a successful digital detox
Marketing professor Kelley Cours Anderson and her co-researcher Karen Anne Wallach from The University of Alabama in Huntsville wrote an article for The Conversation about disconnecting from the digital world.
Digital well-being is subjective. We research technology and consumer behavior. Our recent research studied the digital detox journey, where people take a much-needed break from digital consumption, aiming to uncover what supports or sabotages those seeking digital well-being. Our findings highlighted four key strategies to improve the outcome of this journey toward achieving a healthier digital balance: replacement practices, social bonds, mindfulness and digital well-being as a journey.
