Recommendations

• Balance time online with time to connect in other ways

• Think about what you’re actually doing online as much as you think about how long you’re doing it, quality of content matters as much as quantity of time

• Be sure to make time for physical activity

• Safe-guard your sleep - turn off notifications, charge devices in other rooms and avoid screen-time before going to bed

• Be present with others - make eye contact, listen actively, avoid digital distractions and engage in conversations

• Adjust notification settings on your devices and practice self-control

• Be aware of the physical needs of your body - adjust your posture, turn on lights or be outside, turn down headphones, take activity breaks, rest your eyes and make healthy food choices

• Mind your manners and be respectful with others online
