“My eyes are tired from looking at my smartphone too much…” “I worry about other people’s lives on social media…” “I can’t concentrate because of notifications…”

For modern people, smartphones are indispensable, yet they also bring a new problem: “smartphone fatigue.” While the need for a digital detox is felt, it’s hard to completely disconnect from your smartphone, isn’t it?

That’s why we propose a counter-intuitive approach to digital detox, leveraging Rakuten Mobile’s “unlimited data.” By deliberately ensuring you are “always connected,” you can build a healthy distance from your smartphone and achieve true peace of mind. Let’s discover a new way to interact with your smartphone!

✨ 1. The Peace of Mind from “Always Being Connected” Reduces Smartphone Obsession

Why do we check our smartphones so frequently? An unconscious fear of “missing important communication” or “being left out of information” often drives this behavior.

✅ No Fear of Running Out of Data, So Turning Off Notifications is OK

Rakuten Mobile’s unlimited data fundamentally eliminates the underlying anxiety of “not knowing when data will run out.” This allows you to proactively turn off smartphone notifications without worrying about missing important information.

• Only turn on essential notifications: Set notifications only for truly important contacts (calls, SMS, etc.), and turn off notifications for social media and news apps.
• The mental space of “always being able to access information”: You no longer need to rush to pick up your smartphone for information, allowing you to engage with digital content at your own pace.

The peace of mind from always being connected paradoxically creates the mental space to distance yourself from your smartphone.

📚 2. Transform Your Smartphone from “Consumption” to “Investment”! A Tool for Self-Growth

An unlimited data environment has the potential to transform your smartphone from a mere time-wasting tool into a powerful “investment tool” for self-growth.

✅ Immerse Yourself in Learning and Education Without Worrying About Data

You can use high-quality, large-capacity content such as online learning platforms, language apps, documentary videos, and audiobooks without worrying about data consumption. Turn your commute, school time, or spare moments into valuable learning opportunities.

• Skill up with online courses: Focus on online courses to deepen your expertise in areas of interest.
• Deepen knowledge through extensive reading and listening: Input various domestic and international information from Rakuten Magazine and Rakuten Kobo without worrying about data consumption.

With Rakuten Mobile, your smartphone becomes the best partner to satisfy your intellectual curiosity and support your skill development.

🌳 3. Utilize Tethering to Clearly Delineate Roles for Your Smartphone and PC

One cause of smartphone fatigue is doing all work and play on a single device. By effectively using tethering, you can clearly separate the roles of your smartphone and PC, enhancing concentration.

✅ Focus on PC Work with Tethering, Smartphone in Rest Mode

When working on your PC at home or on the go, use Rakuten Mobile’s tethering as your main internet connection. While you focus on work or research on your PC, you can break the unnecessary attachment to your smartphone by turning off notifications and keeping it away from you.

• Increased work efficiency: Concentrate on tasks on a large PC screen, avoiding interruptions from a small smartphone screen or notifications.
• Digital and analog boundaries: Clearly define the boundary between digital work on a PC and analog time like reading or resting with your smartphone put aside.

It’s precisely because of the “always connected” tethering that you can temporarily put your smartphone in “offline mode.”
