How to Do a Practical Digital Detox (Even If You Rely on Tech Every Day) with Shawn Lemon

If you've been feeling that pull—that nagging feeling that you're on your phone way more than you'd like—you're not alone. Today’s episode is a must-listen because I’m bringing in Shawn Lemon, a digital detox pro and founder of The Digital Organizer. Shawn’s approach is all about helping us set realistic, practical boundaries with our tech (and no, it doesn’t mean ditching our phones entirely).

I think you're going to love his refreshing take on finding balance with technology, especially if you're constantly switching between apps, managing three school portals, and navigating a mountain of messages every day. Shawn shares actionable strategies for cutting back on screen time and reclaiming those extra moments in our lives. You’ll even learn how a digital detox can be a lasting lifestyle shift, not just a quick fix.

Key Takeaways:

1. Get Clear on Your Why: Shawn emphasizes the importance of defining why you want to reduce screen time—whether it’s to connect more with loved ones, lower stress, or simply feel more present.
2. Set Clear Boundaries: Instead of just limiting app time, Shawn suggests deleting certain apps completely (yes, even email!) to help break the habit of compulsive checking.
3. Make Space for What Matters: A detox isn’t about removing tech entirely; it’s about being intentional with your time. Shawn’s tip to replace digital habits with hobbies or family time makes it easier to resist the urge to check in.
4. Practical Tips: From using app limits to rearranging your home screen and turning off notifications, Shawn offers tons of small, manageable changes that add up to big results.
