Joy Kong, MD deleted social media apps from her phone and limited desktop use to one hour daily for work. She added screen-free mornings and evenings, weekly no-phone Sundays, and quarterly full shutdowns. She says the detox made her more focused and increased her business revenue.
One of the best things I've done completely delete social media from my phone and just have it on my desktop for an hour a day, largely for production work, not for consumption. Oh my goodness, it has been such a game changer. You can hire a team or you can get even just one executive assistant to help you post and just schedule posts on, you know, hootsuite or whatever and get AI to help create content. You can use technology more effectively. I think all of us know that. Setting barriers imperative. If I can, when I'm really dialed in on my game, I'll do a 30 minute or an hour in the beginning and the end of my day, I'll block a 30 minute, no tech right when I wake up. That's a sacred time. And right before I go to bed, when I have this dialed in, I feel much better just starting and ending my day with God or higher power or prayer, meditation, a book, whatnot. When I'm also, you know, on my game and focused. I'll do a quarterly complete digital detox for where you just keep your phone off for a span of time at minimum. I like to do a Sunday screen free Sunday. And that way you kick things off on Monday ready to get back in it and get after it. What did that do for you? Well, it's just like any cleanse, like a juice cleanse or a fast. It resets your entire being around that specific topic. It makes me more present, purposeful, makes me a lot more money. It's kind of crazy, but the more time I take off a technology, the better work I do, the more it impacts my business.
