I am sure the topic is self explanatory!
If not, in the present day how many hours are we completely screen-free? Should we be screen free? I believe we should.
I am no science expert but it seems pretty clear that being glued to gadgets most part of the day is not a good idea. Most of us unconsciously do have screen-free times, like cooking, spending time with your family, exercise, hobbies.But there get intertwined with taking pictures, updating statuses on social media or even watching a game with family does not fall under screen-free.
So what is the challenge?
Try to consciously plan screen-free hour(s) every week and write about it. It could be something you already do, a new hobby, reading , writing(not typing!) , travel, friends, family etc. Of course we do need pictures for our posts but try to take them at the very beginning or the very end of the challenge.
Pingback to this page (not this post please) and use the tag #ScreenfreeChallenge for others to read. I will list the participant posts on the page over time. Please find below an old post of mine about making a jigsaw puzzle. That was one of my screen free times!
I request everyone participating to read other posts and reblog them.
P.S. This is my first time trying to organize a blogger event so if you do have any suggestions please post them in the comments sections.
Happy Screen free time!
Great idea and I am trying to do this for a long time but curse my bad will power. I take this as a opportunity to make a Scree free week and see What I accomplish. Is the Screen free page closed? Or Do you have a New link?

Great Idea Jan…. For me, screen time comes automatically at Office. When at Home, screen time limits to only reaching out to readers. I wish same goes for my Hubby too. I will suggest him this. Will share my findings 😉

Monday and Wednesdays are screen-free days in our household. Monday we play board games as a family. Wednesdays is our reading day, we go to the library, do some art etc. Although it was initially hard to install this with the kids, I am glad we stuck with it!
