Hi there,
August 6 is #GlobalDayofUnplugging. You can take the pledge to unplug from your devices and plug into life here.
Five things to share:
You can read about my expert advice on how to spend 24 hours unplugged. It is mostly snarky advice about how you should accept being uncomfortable offline, and it really is only 24 hours, and you should totally use this time to do chores you have been putting off because you spend way too much time online. What do I know though…
Every time I get comfortable and think whattheheck, join in on the digital noise!, I come across a video like this and it knocks some sense back into me. Once you know, you cannot un-know, but until you know, well…
A quote I want to share with you:
If you are in a bad mood, go for a walk. If you are still in a bad mood, go for another walk.
— Hippocrates
Because the demons hate it when you go outside, demons hate fresh air.
A list of resources from Global Day of Unplugging for digital wellbeing. I don’t like and rarely use apps but as they say, everything ain’t for everybody; take what you need, leave the rest.
A question for you: How would you spend a full day unplugged?
That’s all for this week!
Thank you for reading, and please share with anyone you think may benefit.

If I were to spend a day completely unplugged, I'd probably play cricket the whole day! Unfortunately, my friends don't play cricket, so no i cant, but it try to enjoy every sport.
Every day outside is a joyful one. Thank you for the reminder of August 6. Next let's do a day of not spending money!
