"With our ever-present smartphones linked to everything from banking to kids activity schedules, switching off can seem impossible. But there is a way to step back. With summer over, it may be hard to even begin thinking about holidays. But the next time a few days off do swing around, can I make a recommendation?"
"It's something very small and far from radical, but take a moment and switch on the Do Not Disturb setting on your phone."
Smartphones are embedded in daily life, connecting to banking, family schedules and more, making true disconnection difficult. Holiday time can feel out of reach once seasons change, yet even brief breaks can be reclaimed. A simple, non-radical action can create necessary distance from constant notifications. Turning on the Do Not Disturb setting during days off reduces interruptions and preserves focus on rest and family. Small adjustments to phone settings can restore boundaries without major lifestyle changes and make short breaks more restorative.
