Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yo, what up gen z Zayden Cruz here your friendly
neighborhood digital detocs Guru. Ever feel like you're drowning in notifications,
like your phone is glued to your hand twenty four
to seven. You know that feeling when you literally can't
remember the last time you looked up from your screen. Yeah,
me too. We live in a world where technology is
constantly vying for our attention. Scrolling through TikTok, gaming, streaming,
(00:23):
it's all super addictive, right, but guess what, it's slowly
sucking the life out of us, one dopamine hit at
a time. Today, we're diving deep into setting healthy tech
limits because, honestly, fam, work life balance is more important
than getting that next viral TikTok video. Let's break it down.
We need to be real with ourselves about how much
(00:43):
time we're actually spending on our phones. It's like that
embarrassing moment when you realize you spent three hours scrolling
through memes when you should have been studying for that exam. Right,
the first step is awareness. Track your screen time. People
use those built in phone features or download an app,
whatever works. See how much time you're actually dishing out
to the digital world. You might be surprised. I know
(01:07):
I was. Next up. Create boundaries like real life ones,
not just those lame do not disturb settings. Designate tech
free zones in your home, like your bedroom or the
dinner table. Make it a rule. No phones allowed during meals,
No scrolling while catching up with friends. Imagine this, You're
at brunch with your squad. Everyone's glued to their phones
(01:28):
and you miss out on all the hilarious stories because
you were too busy snapping instant stories sad vibes. Right now,
let's talk about those pesky notifications. They're designed to hijack
your attention, like little digital sirens going off in your brain.
Seriously disable them for everything except the absolute essentials think
emergency contacts or maybe that banking app. You don't need
(01:50):
a notification every time someone likes your post. Trust me,
the world won't end if you miss it. Another major
game changer, schedule your screen time. Yes, I said, treat
your phone like any other appointment in your life. Block
out specific times for checking emails, social media, or whatever
else consumes your digital hours. This way, you're in control,
(02:11):
not the other way around. Think of it as a
power move. Reclaiming your time and focus. Finally, embrace boredom.
I know it sounds weird, but sometimes the best ideas
come when our minds aren't constantly bombarded with information. Give
yourself permission to unplug, relax and just be gopher walk,
read a book, have a real conversation with someone face
(02:33):
to face. You'll be surprised how refreshing and rejuvenating it
can be. Let me tell you about Sarah, a fellow
gen Zur who was constantly feeling overwhelmed by her digital life.
She was on her phone twenty four to seven, even
during class. Then one day she decided to try setting
some boundaries. She created a no phone zone in her
(02:53):
bedroom and started scheduling specific times for checking social media.
The result, Sarah felt less stressed, more productive, and had
way more time for things she actually enjoyed. See it's
not rocket science. So there you have it, folks. Five
key takeaways to level up your tech game and get
that work life balance you deserve. Remember technology is a tool,
(03:14):
not a master. We need to use it wisely and intentionally.
Don't let your phone rule your life. Take control, reclaim
your time and live in the moment. You know what
I'm gonna say it again because it's that damn important
set those healthy tech limits. It's not about being anti technology,
it's about being intentional with our digital lives. We need
to unplug, recharge, and reconnect with ourselves in the world
(03:37):
around us. Now, go out there and make some real
life happen. Don't forget to tag me in your TikTok
videos sharing your tech detox journey. I want to see
those wins. And Hey, if you found this episode helpful,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
