Since internet didn’t harm me mentally so far… Never
I never heard of this term, but for me it worked to build it up a bit. I once read the book ‘The Power of The Ritual’ which suggested that you could take inspiration from the sabbath and take a day in the weekend to stop using electronic devices. That really struck a chord with me: focusing on myself, friends/family, a really nice dinner. No phones or tv during or after.
Now, I like to ‘unplug’ for an entire weekend, or just designated weeknights.
I also try to practice digital minimalism all week. But that’s been a bit hard lately. For me, it works better to completely shut it down than to try to use it less.

I feel like I have a healthy balance, I tend to only use the internet at home, aside from listening to music outside while exercising and stuff, it doesn’t really follow me.
I never felt it was harming my mental health
