I'm going one year without devices.
When I was 20, I moved to Silicon Valley because I was obsessed with tech and wanted to work in the industry. Now, with 18 hours of screen time per day—and multiple with AI–I find myself asking:
And what if I went without screens for a year?
- What is it doing to my physical health?
- What is it doing to my life satisfaction?
- What is it doing to my sleep?
- Etc.
And what if I went without screens for a year?
