10. Protect your time.

Have you ever sat down to scroll on your favorite social
media and found that, somehow, hours have passed in
the blink of an eye? The internet is particularly good at
getting you to waste one of your most valuable
resources: time. It's okay to spend your time online, but
you want to do it with intention. Don't just mindlessly
scroll, make the choice to do something that boosts your
happiness, helps you relax from a long day, or
encourages you to improve. Your time is precious, don't
waste it on things that aren't helping you.

11. Create a healthy online and offline balance.

Technology can be detrimental to our physical and
mental wellbeing if we’re not careful. A good digital
citizen will know the risks of spending too much time
online, texting and driving, scrolling through social
media rather than sleeping, or putting too much stock in
what people say about them on the internet. They will
actively work to create a balance in their life and ensure
that technology is helping, not harming, them.
