Ghazal Alagh, co-founder of Mamaearth, recently shared her approach to finding joy in simple living by implementing a "No Digital Distraction Rule" on Sundays. Alagh abstains from using her phone for five hours and instead focuses on spending time with family and reading.
On Saturday, Alagh took to X (formerly Twitter) to discuss the benefits of disconnecting from digital devices. She believes this practice enhances personal connections and allows individuals to find joy in the simplicity of everyday life.
"Every Sunday, I follow a 'No Digital Distraction Rule' and avoid using my phone for five hours," Alagh wrote on X. "During this time, I engage in simple living activities such as spending time with family, taking the kids to the park, reading, and just being present. Disconnecting helps you reconnect with yourself and appreciate the joys of simple living, which can often be overlooked in today's fast-paced world."
Alagh's post received significant engagement from her followers, many of whom expressed agreement with her approach. "That seems like a good challenging goal for myself!" one user commented. Another added, "There is a vast world beyond the screen."
In addition to promoting the benefits of digital detox, Alagh has shared a variety of tips on her X account in recent weeks. She recently discussed the "100-hour rule," encouraging people to dedicate 100 hours of "deliberate practice" to mastering new skills.
Alagh's advice offers valuable insights into how to strike a healthy balance between digital technology and personal well-being.
