‘Tim Ferriss does it every Saturday apparently, Arianna Huffington recommends it for your body and mind and Gary Vee has said he’s considered doing it for a whole year!’
If you find yourself constantly scrolling through social media or under pressure to respond to messages immediately 24/7 then it’s time to think about a ‘digital detox’.
Technology is great as long as we are in control of it and it does not rule our lives.
Catherine has just undertaken an enforced digital detox and in this episode shares what it was like and the reasons how everyone should be doing it regularly.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Why?
My energy and mental health had taken a dip and one of the reasons was the pressure of being on social media. I wanted to be present for my children and family, not constantly reaching for my phone. With a poor signal and no wi-fi attempting any work would be frustrating. There was nothing potentially urgent that would require my immediate attention. I have a personal VA who can access my social media and comment if required. Our business accounts are all managed by VAs who filter and only forward what requires personal attention. My husband has been teasing me about constantly being on my phone and I wanted to challenge myself to see how little I really needed to use it. I realised I was, without purpose mindlessly scrolling through social media when I could have been doing something more productive.What does a digital detox look like?
It can be a few hours or a few days and be partial or total.
You could keep your phone with you and only use certain aspects such as the camera or maps or you could complete a zero-digital access with no Netflix, Play-station or Alexa.
There are multiple benefits anyone can get from a digital detox – you can reconnect with family and friends, start a new hobby or just get some great sleep.
Getting the most from your digital detox
Plan ahead – let family, clients, friends know you are doing this
Make the most of it – doing something physical such as swimming can help your creative thought processes
Responding to enquiries - If your business requires responses to enquiries then use a VA to do this.
Note the benefits – this will encourage you to repeat the experience regularly.

ABOUT THE HOST
Catherine Turner
Catherine is an iTunes No.1 podcast host of Leveraged Lifestyle, entrepreneur, businesswoman, an Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Co-Director of Ideal-Collective.com and a mum of 2!
Catherine quit being an employee in 2013, after working more than 50+ hours on average a week, over 3 jobs. Jobs, hours and a lifestyle which led to a diagnosis of clinical depression before the age of 25.
In 2011/12 Catherine discovered the power of investing in property, and tried many different property investment strategies over the years, finally settling on Serviced Accommodation in 2015, which has now grown from one unit in her home town of Chelmsford, Essex to over 50 across the UK, helping investors, landlords and developers create a better return on their money or property.
This year, Catherine and her husband Stephen, also her business partner, joined forces with the Directors of LoLite Homes to create the Ideal-Collective.com, which is all about leveraging the services and knowledge of all four Directors when it comes to Serviced Accommodation, Social Media, Finance & Virtual Assistants.
Catherine started Leveraged Lifestyle podcast to give business owners and those not leading their ideal lifestyle, to learn the mindset and skillset it takes to create a lifestyle of Freedom, by leveraging time, money & knowledge and using outsourcing and systemisation.
