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.”
