Digital Detox Fridays

Written by

One of my intentions for 2016 is to create my own Digital Detox Fridays. Friday is already my day off from client work, in the main, though there is a fortnightly exception as you will read. The idea was that I will extend my day off to being offline completely. Here’s what I’ve learned so far from just two Fridays as a recovering digital addict.
