Unplug to Recharge: Happy National Unplugging Day
In a world where our screens are always calling—emails, notifications, endless scrolling—it’s easy to forget what life feels like without a phone. That’s why the National Day of Unplugging, observed on the first Friday in March, is the perfect excuse to step away from technology and reconnect with what truly matters.
At JOJU, we believe in the power of spending time outdoors—whether that’s feeling the sun on your skin, working up a sweat or simply taking a deep breath of fresh air. And sometimes, the best way to recharge is to unplug...
Why Unplugging Matters
We all know too much screen time can leave us feeling drained, distracted and disconnected. Studies show that excessive device use can impact mental health, disrupt sleep and reduce our ability to focus. Taking a break, even for a single day, can help:
- Reduce stress & anxiety
- Improve sleep quality
- Enhance real-life connections
- Boost creativity and mindfulness

4 Ways to Celebrate the National Day of Unplugging
National Day of Unplugging is the opportunity to embrace real-life adventure. Here are a few ways to make the most of your screen-free time..
- Get Outside. Go for a hike, take a walk by the water or hop on a bike. Nature is the perfect antidote to digital fatigue
- Read a Book. Dive into a great story or finally crack open that book you've been meaning to read
- Reconnect with Loved Ones. Play board games, have a long conversation or cook a meal together without distractions
- Get Creative. Paint, journal, play an instrument or try something new that engages your mind in a different way
