Go Off is a reminder to be at rest.
In my early discovery into digital addiction, one takeaway that I’ll paraphrase from Catherine Price’s – ‘How to Break Up With Your Phone’ (a book using a toxic relationship as analogy to our relationship with phones) was this idea that unlocking your phone, to doom scroll socials, is likened to inviting all these random strangers into your room to yell at you, pulling your attention into a million directions at once.
Understanding the value of Solitude is a giant first step into paying attention to self. Understanding our own needs and our own voice.
Another great excerpt from Cal Newport’s – ‘Digital Minimalism’ on the effects of Solitude.
