Digital Detox for Moms: A Realistic Guide

Published on July 2, 2025 · Wellness

Between work emails, baby pics, and parenting memes, screens are always around. But when you find yourself doom-scrolling during nap time... it’s time to hit pause.

Step 1: Small Digital Boundaries

Start by setting a no-phone rule during meals or playtime. A single 30-minute block of tech-free time is powerful.

Step 2: Use Tech to Beat Tech

Use Focus Mode or the Forest app to limit your screen time while still staying productive.

Step 3: Replace, Don’t Just Remove

Replace scrolling with a mini ritual: journaling, walking, or a hot coffee moment without distractions.

“You can't pour from an empty cup — especially one that's always on 4G.”

Detox doesn’t have to be drastic. Even a little unplugging can bring you clarity, joy, and connection with your little ones.
