Have you been doomscrolling for an hour without realizing it? Or checking your phone every minute for no reason?

In this session of CTL Manabi Plus+, a digital detox workshop was held to relieve digital fatigue caused by smartphone overuse, giving eyes, brains, and even smartphones themselves a well-deserved rest.

In the first half, participants exchanged ideas about their daily smartphone usage and shared tips on how to maintain a healthy relationship with their devices. In the second half, participants took on the challenge of sealing their smartphones in handmade Ziploc bags and going screen-free for a duration they set for themselves. While their phones were locked away, everyone enjoyed non-digital activities such as playing board games, coloring, and practicing handwriting, taking time to refresh both mind and body.

Try a digital detox for yourself!

From Monday, October 19 to Friday, October 30 (9:00 AM–4:00 PM), smartphone-sealing Ziploc bags will be available for rent on the CTL Floor. We encourage you to try a digital detox for yourself!
