This website will teach you how to find balance between digital and “real” world.

Digital sobriety is the state of awareness of the impact technology – gadgets, apps and social media – have on our life.

Digital sobriety blog is here to help you find the right balance between your online and offline life by first understanding the reasons behind why this dis-balance happened in the first place, and then discussing practical steps that can be taken in order to improve our lives.

Who is this website for?

You might find this website useful if you’ve noticed that you feel anxious, depressed or overwhelmed every time you pick up your phone or tablet.

Of course, mental health issues are a separate problem, and there are no studies definitively proving that social media use cause them. However, social media (and other aspects of our digital lives) can and do make it more likely that we find ourselves in unhealthy feedback loops.

This blog aims to break down and discuss how websites and apps are designed, what the intentions are behind certain decisions, and then what we can do to improve over time.
