Home breakfast is the happy hours, Tiger would like to listen English radio every morning, He told me this English is talking about current news or the big events in the world, one day one text, the teacher will lead and explain news bilingual in details, you can listen the text reading by teacher, or you can try to read by yourself,  there is the score according your performance, that’s why I like it and following to download YLYK app immediately. Today’s topic is about Digital Detox, let’s me copy the text here, let us learn together here.

Even thought the presidential election is over, we’re still doom scrolling through gloomy news about corona virus surge.

The rest of your daily routine is probably something like mine: Divided among streaming movies on Netflix, watching home improvement videos on YouTube and playing video games.

With the holiday season upon us, now is a good time to take a breather and consider a digital detox.

So I turned to psychology experts for their advice. Here’s what we can do.

Come up with a plan

Step one is assessing which parts of screen time feel toxic and make you unhappy.

Step two is creating a realistic plan to minimize consumption of the bad stuff.

Create no-phone zones

“My no. one piece of advice is no phones in the bedroom overnight,” Dr Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University said, “Have a charging station outside the bedroom.” Outside of our bedrooms, we can create other no-phone zones.

The dinner table, for example is a prime opportunity for families to agree to put phone away for at least thirty minutes and reconnect.

Resist the Hooks

Social media sites create goals to keep users engaged.

Those include the number of likes and followers we accrue on Facebook or Twitter.

YouTube automatically plays the next recommended video not to mention the never-ending Facebook and Twitter scrolling.

For starters, we can resist the hooks by making our phones less intrusive. Turn off notifications for all apps except those that are essential for work and keeping in touch with people you care about. If you feel strongly addicted, take an extreme measure and turn the phone to gray scale mode.
