Digital Detox With Our Favorite Magazines
You must be signed in to print this content
Everything we read today tends to be quick and in short spurts, but here at Giadzy we are encouraging everyone to take a screen break and try this no-brainer digital detox a few times a year.
The easiest way to achieve this is by subscribing to your favorite print magazines. The best part? The digital detox is automatically delivered to your door once a month or a couple times a year (depending on the magazine) without even thinking about it. Consider splurging on an independent publication as well. Indie magazines are trending, with original storytelling paired with stunning photography, providing us with new perspectives to kick off 2019.
Be sure not to cheat with a digital subscription -- there is nothing more satisfying than getting a magazine in the mail and taking that break to sit down with your favorite coffee or tea while giving yourself an hour to escape the screen.
If books are more your avenue, also consider looking at your local bookstore as they might have a 6 or 12 month book subscription for a surprise novel every month, such as this one in Brooklyn.
Listed below are a selection of mainstream and indie magazines we enjoy with topics ranging from food, fashion, travel and home. As our thumbs scroll through our feeds, give your eyes a break and remember to set aside some time to thumb through a magazine instead.
