Day 1 – Awareness Day: Track Your Screen Time

10-Day Digital Detox Challenge by Digital Mukt

Welcome to Day 1 of the Digital Detox Challenge!

Today’s focus is simple but powerful: Awareness. Before you can take control of your digital life, you must first understand where your time and attention are going.

📊 Why Screen Time Awareness is Essential

  • Identify digital distractions
  • Recognize patterns of mindless scrolling
  • Understand the emotional impact of your device usage
  • Set realistic and healthy tech boundaries

This day is about observation, not restriction.

🎯 Your Mission Today: Track and Observe

✅ Step 1: Check Your Screen Time Stats

Use your phone’s built-in tools:

  • iPhone: Settings → Screen Time
  • Android: Settings → Digital Wellbeing

Track:

  • Total screen time
  • Most-used apps
  • Number of pickups/unlocks

✅ Step 2: Observe Your Digital Behavior

Throughout the day, notice:

  • How often you reach for your phone without a purpose
  • What emotions trigger your screen use
  • How screen time affects your mood and focus

✅ Step 3: Evening Reflection

Take 5–10 minutes tonight to reflect on your experience:

  • How many hours did you spend on screens?
  • What surprised you the most?
  • Were there emotional triggers behind your digital behavior?
  • Did you miss any meaningful offline experiences?
“Today, I realized my screen time habits are __________. I feel __________ about starting this detox.”

🛠️ Bonus Tools to Help You Track Usage

  • RescueTime (Windows/Mac)
  • StayFree (Android)
  • Moment (iOS)
  • Forest App – Encourages focus

🌱 Final Thoughts for Day 1

This day is about curiosity, not criticism. You might be shocked by your screen time—but that’s okay. Awareness is the first step toward digital freedom.
