Vacationing today often means disconnecting digitally rather than just relocating physically. Logging off, archiving work-related chats, and reducing online presence facilitate this. Initial benefits of this digital detachment may take time to manifest. Experiences of tranquility can replace the noise of constant notifications. The urgency of digital communication contrasts sharply with private reflection. Such digital disengagement underscores a broader historical context of massive shifts in communication technologies, akin to previous information crises marked by the invention of writing and the printing press.
The benefit isn't immediate. The cacophony rings in your ears for a few days before you notice the stillness, the change in tempo.
The break begins not in a departure lounge but with the act of logging off, setting the out-of-office email auto-reply, archiving work-related WhatsApp chats.
