How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?

It is high time to shut the computer down, when I become inattentive and fidgety. Since I don’t use instagram or another one of those ‘ever present’ apps, my phone is always in the same place. When I happen to walk by, I check for new notifications [WhatsApp usually], respond if necessary and then continue on with my day. In fact, my neighbor lady ‘encouraged’ me a few times already to check the phone more often, as it takes me too long to respond back. That should tell you, lol.
What do I do to unplug? Anything that involves movement, honestly. If the weather is nice I go for a walk. Other than that, there’s always something to do/clean in my apartment – not that it’s fun or anything, but it needs to be done as well. Another great option is a ride on my stationary bike, while listening to my favorite songs.
