A Question For You
And some news...
Hi there, Curious Bird 😃 I’m back!
My 24-day challenge without a laptop, smartphone or TV has ended and a new year has begun.
And I would love to start off this year with a question for you.
Do you have a New Year’s resolution?
Is it spending more time with friends and family?
Is it reading more books?
Or is it learning something new?
Unfortunately, there is a big chance your New Year’s resolution will fail.
Why? Well…
… Digital Distractions!
Can I be so impolite to suggest an extra New Year’s resolution?
“In 2025, I want to reclaim the time lost on digital distractions”
If you do just that, the benefits you’ll get will go beyond the extra time in your hands.
Mental health improves.
Attention span increases.
And you might just be able to succeed with your New Year’s resolution!
Unfortunately, it isn’t easy to take control over our digital distractions because of their addictive nature.
That’s why it’s better to do it together.
And I have just the right thing for you to start 2025 without digital distractions, together with like-minded people:
The Unplug & Unfold Challenge: New Year’s Edition
This Saturday the 11th of January, the “Unplug & Unfold Challenge: New Year’s Edition” will start.
During this challenge, we bring together a group of curious, young-minded people who are tired of the boredom and loneliness caused by time wasting digital distractions such as Netflix, Instagram, YouTube and many more.
With the help of exercises, group discussions and accountability partners, we’ll reclaim our time and live a fuller life in the real world.
And, most importantly, you’ll meet Escapo, Fomelia & Bornov 😀😀😀
