If you’re here, you’re probably not looking for another system, rulebook, or life-optimization plan. You’re likely just tired. Not the kind of tired that sleep fixes, but the quiet fatigue that comes from being constantly connected, always reachable, and rarely fully present.
Tech Sabbath exists for moments like that.
A digital detox. A rejection of technology. A strict set of rules. An all-or-nothing lifestyle.
A practice of intentional pauses. A way to put technology back in its proper place. A rhythm that prioritizes presence over performance. Something you return to, not something you perfect.
Technology is powerful. Helpful. Necessary.
But without boundaries, it quietly fragments attention, blurs work and rest, and competes with relationships. Tech Sabbath isn’t about doing less life. It’s about being present for the life you already have.
There is no starting line and no finish line. Most people begin with:
A few minutes.
One device.
One moment of awareness.
Small pauses create clarity. Clarity creates better rhythms.

You don’t need to change anything yet. Just notice when technology begins to take more than it gives, when scrolling feels automatic, interruptions feel constant, or presence feels fragmented.
Awareness is the first pause.

Choose one small pause you can keep. It might be five minutes without your phone, one meal without screens, or a single app you step away from for the evening.
Small pauses matter more than ambitious ones.

You will forget. You will slip back into old habits.
That’s expected. When it happens, pause again, without guilt, without starting over. Returning is the practice that turns intention into rhythm.
You don’t need to get this right. You just need to keep coming back.
