Totally ditching technology—even for just a little while—can seem daunting, but this infographic will put you on the track for success.

But an upcoming holiday or vacation doesn't have to be the only time you unplug; there are lots of reasons to take a step back from technology—and plenty of easy ways to do it.

If you need a little nudge in the right direction (prying yourself away from Candy Crush is hard—we know), check out the infographic below for some tips to get you away from the screen and ready for some technology-free relaxation.
