media fast
Digital detox period
A media fast is a period of deliberately abstaining from media consumption—news, social media, television, or digital content generally.
Like a food fast, it's undertaken for perceived health benefits, usually mental clarity or reduced anxiety.
I'm doing a week-long media fast to reset my brain.
The practice gained popularity alongside concerns about screen addiction and information overload.
