In fact,Miller realized that without the net he had started becomingeven more “out of touch with life.”4 Last month, I went on my own digital detox.

Throughout the last decade, I’ve beenplugged in 24‐7, living in a world where the line between digital and real gets a bit blurred at times. For a while I’d felt the urge to free myself from it all, and wanted to see what would happen then.6 I haven’t of course forgotten that I’m CEO of a social media company. My life’s work is built around the belief that being connected makes our lives richer and more rewarding. Still, I’d forgotten one key lesson along the way: moderation. As more and more of my life was spent scanning social feeds, I realized that I needed to step back and get some perspective.7 So on my winter vacation to Mexico, I took a break frombeing active on the internet for the entire trip. For a whole 14 days, I ate a lot of delicious seafood, surfed and fixed up my hut on the beach. I didn’t go online except to check my email periodically — just to make sure an emergency wasn’t unfolding while I was away. Text StudyT
