That's the point, this person and plenty others, are NOT able to "just" go and disconnect. If you can do that, wonderful for you, but please don't assume others are like you precisely when they are humble enough to clarify that they do have a problem and try to help others to overcome it.
Just not bringing the devices should be enough.
I regularly advocate for offline moments so I definitely agree on the "how" ... but that's still not my point though.
What I was trying to highlight was that HOW depends on whom you are talking to. Here they just mentioned a deep behavior problem. Saying "just" or "simply" or "should" or "ought to" or anything implying it's really not that hard is probably not going to be encouraging to them.
yeah but I mean it is the same about logging out accounts or removing 2FA which is what I was really replying to.
If that person doesn't have the mental strength to do any action on their own, I totally agree that they probably need therapy first.
