National Day of Unplugging

Put Your Phone Away

The first Friday of March is an observance this nerd finds almost impossible to celebrate: National Day of Unplugging. You can take the pledge to unplug your devices for 24 hours and even get your own smartphone “napsack.” Another cool activity the organizers promote is a scavenger hunt in August with your local Little Free Libraries.

You can also make a pact with the Forest app that you’ll leave your phone untouched for a certain period of time. Succeed and Forest rewards you by growing digital trees. Fail and you kill a tree. The choice is yours.
