Earn $ 2,400 for 24 hour digital detox

Even those who had a relatively healthy relationship with technology before the pandemic can now find themselves in a different position – where they are interacting with some kind of screen during almost all of their waking hours. Between Zoom meetings, virtual visits, your real work, and using the TV as a way to relax after all the other time on the screen, you may be looking for an excuse to drop everything – at least for a day.

Now, the Reviews.org team has one for you: they will pay a person $ 2,400 to do a 24-hour digital detox. Here’s what you should know.

What you have to do for the money

Of course, the challenge involves more than simply avoiding screens during the day: the person selected will have to provide the company with some feedback on their experience and review their “24-hour survival kit without technology” (more on that soon).

So, what exactly does disconnection involve? According to Reviews.org, someone must be willing to disconnect from all personal technology (excluding emergencies) for 24 hours, including:

• Without cell phone
• Without television
• No game consoles / handheld gaming devices
• No computers / laptops
• No smartwatches or wearable technology
• No smart home devices (smart speakers, smart vacuum cleaners, etc.)

An exception to this is a microwave, which you can still use to heat food during the 24-hour period.

If you are chosen for the digital detox challenge, you will have 14 days to choose a day that works for your schedule. After the challenge, you will be asked to submit screen time reports to prove that you have actually spent 24 full hours without your technology.

What do you get

If you are selected to accept the challenge, you will receive:

• The official title of “2021 Digital Detox Challenger” in the United States.S.
• $ 2,400 (USD) as payment for completing the challenge
• A day without apocalypse, bad internet memes or Zoom fatigue
• A safe to store your technology for 24 hours
• A $ 200 gift certificate from Amazon to assemble a survival kit without technology

The tech-free survival kit is basically your choice of items from Amazon, worth up to $ 200 in total, which will help you get through the time without your devices. Here are some suggestions from the company (although they are also open to your ideas):

• A typewriter to replace your laptop
• Board games to replace video games
• Write stationery to replace text messages or emails
• An abacus to replace your phone’s calculator
• Bestsellers’ books to replace the time you spend rolling through social media
• Paints and brushes to make a self portrait instead of taking selfies

How to apply

Anyone at least 18 years of age and eligible to work in the USA can apply. Only fill this application around 7 pm EST on Friday, March 26, 2021. Reviews.org will announce the names of those selected to be detox challengers on March 29 on their YouTube channel.
