I remember ny highschool teacher in 2019 teaching the class how the smartphones have become an extension of our hand. I didn't take it seriously at that time, but now I do realise that it is infact has become not just an extension of our hands, but an extension of our mind.

Are there any ways a person, whose work requires to be connected to internet, devices like laptop or smartphone can possibly practice digital detox?

Outside of work you're free to do whatever you want, so you can get some tangible, real life hobbies. Even at work you probably don't have to use your smartphone and you can shut it off, focus on work.

My personal recommendation is not touching a screen for the first hour of your day - or at least, not engaging with the Internet, for however long you can manage.

Nature heals extremely well, recharges mental batteries. Sports help. Sports in nature are the best - hiking, camping, skiing, climbing, biking, whatever ticks your boxes (for me, everything does but I don't have enough free time to do it all)
