Digital detox: calming down by cutting down on screen time This Month's Beginning
Introduction
In this digital world, it’s simple to get sucked into the never-ending stream of news and fun. But spending too much time in front of a screen can be distracting and bad for your spiritual health. Getting away from technology during Ramadan can help you relax and concentrate on your spiritual goals.
Why a digital detox is a good idea
- Improved Focus: You can focus more on your prayers, reading the Quran, and other spiritual activities when you spend less time in front of a screen.
