Are Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Tinder taking up too much of your time? Lots of people are talking about going on a digital detox, but few actually go through with it. According to psychologist Dr. Yvonne Thomas, “You can be so preoccupied with your digital devices that it’s all too easy to inadvertently sacrifice time, relationships, sleep, focus, productivity, and balance in your life. Many people are not even aware of the toll their extensive usage of digital devices costs them until they have suffered a loss or upset because of this.” Even a brief digital detox — even just a week-long break from social media — can restore some of this imbalance.

I’m talking about games like croquet, lawn darts, bocce, ladder ball, cornhole, and more. The only thing that makes the experience better is having a frosty, refreshing beer firmly in one of your hands. But just like how you don’t enjoy every yard game, not just any beer will do.
