Lessons from a Week-Long Digital Detox

Writer Interview with Varenya Shrikant

Our Content Director, Nimayi Dixit, recently sat down with Varenya Shrikant to discuss the social media detox she performed last year and the insights she gathered from that experience. Varenya is a healthcare industry consultant based in Chicago. Like many, she realized that she was spending too much time consuming digital media and wanted to arrive at a more balanced relationship with her devices. She performed a week-long social media detox in the summer of 2023 and recorded her experience in a journal. Those journal entries were published by Tusk & Quill in a series titled "Scrolling Sobriety." A year onwards, what does she remember? How has her relationship with social media changed since? And what advice does she have to others who want to try something similar? We discussed these questions and more in the interview. You can follow Varenya on Instagram: @varenya.aa
