the great Australian
switch-off
Switching OFF screens. Switching ON life
(for 24 hours..)
Sunday 3rd-4th December 2023
6am to 6am
Registrations open 2023
can you LAST 24 hours without looking at a screen?
if your answer is no, then you're exactly the person who needs to register.
i know what you're thinking..
'Yeah, switching off for 24 hours sounds like a really great idea, but I personally can't take part because I really need my laptop/phone for work ...or I have to watch an important episode of my favourite program... or I need to post on social media that day'.
But do you really need to? In fact if you're coming up with all of those excuses so easily then you are exactly the person who needs to switch off the most.
Did you know that excessive screen time can cause significant harm to your physical and mental health? And it can age you. It can also have a serious negative impact upon the people closest to you....in so many ways.
- Think about the person you don't really 'see' because there is a screen blocking your view...
- Think about what you could be filling your brain with every time you mindlessly scroll..
- Think about the thousands of conversations that 'might have been'... if a screen was never present..
IS YOUR device REALLY THAT IMPORTANT?
