Idk, doesn’t seem to actually be about screens themselves and more about multitasking or what we watch on the screens.
Don’t know how to do fancy quoting but this is the conclusion from the article:
Evidence suggests that mental relief comes not from adding new coping strategies, but from reducing the number of demands placed on the brain.
Here are some evidence-based strategies that support genuine restoration:
-
Reduce digital multitasking, such as using your phone while watching television. This lowers stress and cognitive strain.
-
Limit task-switching and interruptions. This improves focus and reduces cognitive fatigue.
-
Spend time in low-stimulation environments, including quiet spaces and outdoor settings. This supports mood and emotional well-being.
-
Unwind with analog or low-novelty activities, such as reading print, journaling, gentle movement, or device-free walking. These pastimes allow mental engagement without overload.
The goal is to intentionally reduce mental load, not to abandon all digital devices.
To improve well-being in our overstimulated society, it’s important to understand the difference between feeling as though you are unwinding and actually allowing your brain and body to recover.

it’s not the screen, it’s our fucking government and the billionaire class fucking our future
So one thing: stop using your screen.
