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
