Get out in nature and think about your problems. Go on walks. Hike. Take up photography and stargazing.

Use the time to unplug. When you do return to your screen you’ll have a fresh prospective on a lot of your problems. You’ll also be happier and healthier.

I think this is fantastic advice, but only up to a point. Unplugging regularly to recharge is so important, but the length and percentage of time matters. OP might spend 80% of their time in parts of the world without internet, for weeks or months at a time. In that context, I don’t think this advice applies in the same way that it would for someone who spends a day or two offline every other month.
