A day without doom-scrolling, bad internet memes or Zoom fatigue? Sounds like a dream job.

Reviews.org, a company that tests products and tries out services, is looking to crown the "2021 Digital Detox Challenger."

If you can go 24 hours without using any personal technology -- no phones, laptops, video games, TV, etc. -- then you could take home $2,400. The bright side? You can still use a microwave to heat up dinner.

Participants will receive a $200 Amazon gift card to put together a techless 24-hour survival kit. Think of it this way: a typewriter to replace your laptop, writing stationery to replace emails or text messages and books to replace social media scrolling.

"Weโ€™re looking for someone who is definitely into tech but willing to challenge themselves," the company said.

After storing your devices in a safe, the company wants participants to provide feedback on the experience and review their techless 24-hour survival kit.

If youโ€™re 18 or older and eligible to work in the US, you can apply online here through March 26.
