ADHD brains thrive on constant stimulation, but too much digital noise can leave us feeling drained, scattered, and overwhelmed. Thatβs why the Global Day of Unplugging (GDU)βfrom sundown on March 7 to sundown on March 8βis the perfect opportunity to take a break from screens and reconnect with yourself, your creativity, and the world around you.
This 24-hour digital detox movement encourages people worldwide to step away from technology and engage in meaningful, offline experiences. But for ADHDers, unplugging doesnβt mean sitting stillβit means intentional, brain-friendly activities that fuel focus and joy.
