3 Ways to cultivate a calmer digital life

Use technology to stress less and stay organized.

As the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter, you’re probably feeling the urge to organize your home and get rid of the clutter. But spring cleaning doesn’t need to be limited to where you live. It can extend to your devices, so you can regain a sense of order and start fresh. As part of your digital self-care habits routine, here are a few ways to streamline your tech, cut down digital distractions and achieve a calm vibe this season.

Scroll less.
Cherish more.

You know how it goes. Monday morning you take a pic of your #OOTD, then before you know it, you’re swiping through your snaps from the past weekend. Ten minutes later, you’re lost in a vortex, trying to make sense of the random photos in your phone that you forgot you even took. If this sounds too familiar, try the Samsung Gallery feature on Galaxy S22 Ultra to quickly sort group photos into albums to keep your pics organized and easy to find. Or use the highlight reel function to create shareable videos clips from your favorite photos and videos. You can also personalize the reels by adjusting their duration, adding text or music, changing the background and more.

The revamped Samsung One UI¹ for Galaxy S22 Series makes using your phone even easier and simpler. Pin your frequent contacts, so sharing memories is as breezy as capturing them. Plus, often-used features like the home screen, lock screen and notifications are now enhanced with new visual effects like Dim and Blur to spotlight the info you need.

No apps get cluttered faster than photos and notes. Use Samsung One UI to back up your precious photos and videos to cloud storage, then sync Samsung Notes instantly across devices like Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra

Syncing keeps your projects flowing so you can be productive from anywhere, while backing up photos and videos helps protect irreplaceable memories. Sync data across all of your devices using Samsung Cloud.

Limit your screen time

It's easy to get bogged down in social media, whether you’re deep in a stream of memes or endlessly liking photos of people you don’t even know. The Digital Wellbeing feature³ is a must-have for parents trying to curb a child’s screen time—and their own, for that matter. By letting you set limits to your time spent scrolling, it’s a huge asset for maintaining mental health.

Embrace relaxation

Block noise with Galaxy Buds2
Turning on Active Noise Cancellation⁵ on your Galaxy Buds2 lets you block out distracting background noise and stay in your comfort zone.

Still feeling stressed? Try the Mindfulness feature⁴ on the Samsung Health app, which has a variety of meditation choices, soothing music and relaxation exercises. Wearables like Galaxy Watch4 can even measure your stress level before and after your meditation session, so you can see how much with it has improved.

Discover Dark mode
Scheduling your Galaxy phone to switch to Dark mode at a consistent time every night can help you doze off gradually.
