An hour over dinner? An hour before bed? First thing in the morning? Decide when your household would benefit most from a screen-free hour and commit to sticking to it.
When the hour comes, simply switch off from the screens and all forms of digital distraction. Spend some quality time with the people that really matter.
When your hour is done and you come back online (take your time – there's no rush!), take a moment to share your experience with the #OurHourOff community.
Technology has done so much to bring us together and enrich our lives. We can keep in touch 24/7, video chat with loved ones around the globe, enjoy any number of TV shows or computer games at the touch of a button. But sometimes, doesn’t it feel like all the screens are getting in the way of spending real, quality time with each other? Science is beginning to ask important questions about what this screen saturation is doing to our brains – and particularly the brains of our children that are growing up immersed in this stuff. The #OurHourOff community is starting a conversation about what can be done to take back control and strive for a healthier relationship with the screen for us and our loved ones.
