Digitale detox: van digitale veelvraat naar bewuste gebruiker

Kristof
Smet

“Je bent busy, maar niet productief.”

De smartphone als verlengstuk van onze arm

Deze uitspraak illustreert misschien nog wel het best ons digitale gedrag. Onze smartphone is zoals een mondmasker in tijden van corona. We nemen hem overal mee naartoe en kunnen haast niet zonder. Sterker nog, we voelen ons ongerust en lichtelijk gestrest wanneer we hem niet bij hebben.

Deze digitale afhankelijkheid – of verslaving? – doet bij meer en meer mensen het besef groeien: gebruik ik mijn digitale apparaten niet té veel? Zou het geen tijd worden om een digitale detox in te lassen? Het antwoord is ‘ja’! Maar begin er niet onbezonnen aan.

Wie denkt dat een digitale detox enkel het compleet bannen van digitale tools inhoudt, is mis. Je zou inderdaad kunnen opteren voor zo’n ‘radicale’ digitale detox, maar aangezien we tegenwoordig niet meer zonder onze digitale middelen kunnen leven, is een extreme detox niet erg realistisch. Een gematigdere vorm waarbij je beredeneerd omgaat met jouw digitale gedrag is dan vaak ook een betere optie.

Sociaal de verwachting, professioneel de druk

Je herkent het vast wel: tijdens een gesprek weerklinkt plotseling het alombekende geluid ‘ping!’. De notificatie leidt zowel jezelf als jouw gesprekspartner af van de initiële conversatie, die meteen onder tafel wordt geveegd door wat er zich afspeelt op dat schermpje. Want toegegeven, we voelen de drang om onmiddellijk te checken. We zouden maar eens iets gemist moeten hebben. Bovendien verwacht de maatschappij dat we de nieuwste smartphone hebben en dat we continu online zijn.

Niet alleen op het sociale leven heeft de digitalisering een impact, ook op werkvlak is merkbaar dat werknemers constant bereikbaar moeten zijn. Althans dat dénken ze. Want laat dat nu juist één van de pijnpunten zijn op de werkvloer: een gebrek aan duidelijke afspraken over digitale communicatie en bereikbaarheid. Gevolg: het gevoel om ook na de werkuren voortdurend ten dienste te moeten staan van het werk, een ideale cocktail voor burn-outs.

Goed begonnen is half gewonnen

Redenen genoeg dus om een digitale detox te ondernemen. Maar hoe begin je er in hemelsnaam aan? Wanneer mensen hebben beslist om een digitale detox in te lassen, passen ze dikwijls bewust strategieën toe om hun digitale detox makkelijker te maken. Zo laten ze hun smartphone in de auto liggen tijdens een etentje, zetten ze hem op vliegtuigmodus wanneer ze aan het werken zijn of maken ze hun slaapkamer smartphonevrij voor een betere nachtrust.

“Als je iets verandert aan de manier waarop je reageert in Whatsapp, op Facebook, op e-mails of aan de manier waarop je de telefoon opneemt, dan moet je dat communiceren naar jouw omgeving”, zo vertelt een ervaringsdeskundige in digitale detox. Hiermee stipt ze meteen de meest belangrijke voorbereiding aan: jouw omgeving op de hoogte brengen van jouw digitale detox. Het blijkt dat dit de kans op herval in jouw voormalige gedrag danig reduceert.

“Die omgeving heeft inderdaad een fundamentele impact op mijn digitaal gebruik. Als ze er ook niet bewust mee omgaan, dan word je er op een gegeven moment toch weer opnieuw in meegesleurd”, aldus de 27-jarige Maarten, die als zelfstandige werkt.

Wennen en volhouden

Want hoe bevrijdend een digitale detox ook mag klinken, vergeet niet dat er ook een keerzijde kan zijn. In het begin is het vaak moeilijk voor detoxers om zich te houden aan hun vooropgestelde afspraken waardoor ze sneller kunnen hervallen in hun oude routines. “Ik had Facebook weer geactiveerd en toen merkte ik dat ik op het einde van de dag 5 uur lang op mijn smartphone had gezeten. Toen dacht ik echt ‘what the hell’! Dus ik stelde wel vast dat je daar snel weer in rolt”, zegt een 24-jarige studente.

Als je echter de nodige discipline aan de dag legt, duurt het niet lang voor je in de juiste mindset raakt. Mensen wennen aan hun nieuwe gedrag en zoeken naar alternatieven om de lege momenten op te vullen die ze normaal zouden doorbrengen op hun digitale tools. Een digitale detoxer bevestigt dit: “Ik kies echt activiteiten uit die mij mentale rust geven. In plaats van mijn smartphone boven te halen, zal ik een halfuurtje wandelen of een boek lezen in de tuin. Ik merk dat ik zulke zaken meer opzoek.”

Moeten, moeten? Ik moet juist niks!

Om even samen te vatten: hoewel het doormaken van een digitale detox niet altijd van een leien dakje verloopt, voelen we ons nadien mentaal rustiger en zijn we onszelf bewuster van ons online gedrag. Niet alleen wijzelf, maar ook onze omgeving kan het proces van digitale detox beïnvloeden. Daarom is het belangrijk om tijdig te communiceren met jouw sociale netwerk en collega’s om foutieve verwachtingen of onnodige druk te vermijden.

Na de digitale detox genieten gebruikers intenser van de momenten waarop ze hun digitale toestellen gebruiken en bewaken ze beter hun eigen grenzen. Hun productiviteit is er ook op verbeterd. In sommige gevallen is het nieuwe digitale gedrag zelfs geëvolueerd naar een echte levensstijl. Laat me dus afsluiten met 1 goede raad: wees smarter dan jouw smartphone en behoud de controle over het toestel in plaats van dat hij jou in zijn greep houdt!
