The benefits of a digital detox


The chances are, you have too much tech in your life. You check your emails and your social media and you twitch a little if your mobile phone or tablet isn’t in easy reach.

So get yourself a tech vacation. Don’t just get away from work, really get away from work. Don’t check your email, or your Twitter feed, turn away from news updates.
