30 Reasons To Stay Offline
10/14/20261 min read
Recently my internet has been down for a few days. I was forced to stay offline. In this time I unearthed the benefits of being disconnected.
As someone who’s been on the digital minimalism path for a few years to various extents. I know all too well the benefits of adopting a simpler approach to my devices and how I use the internet.
During my time offline, the benefits of being disconnected from the internet were amplified even more.
This was what inspired this list. My list isn’t exhaustive. Yet for anyone who might be considering softening the grip of devices or the internet in their life, I hope my list acts as a useful reminder of the benefits of going offline.
