Phase 2: Establishing Boundaries

Establish clear boundaries to reduce digital distractions.

Block Notifications During Work

Disable social media and non-essential app notifications during work hours.

Engage in Low-Stimulation Activities

Weekly

Dedicate time to activities like walking, crafting, or art. Practice at least for 1-2 hours, even just once a week. This will help rebalance your brain’s reward system, fostering deeper focus, emotional regulation, and long-term satisfaction over fleeting highs.

Smartphone Downtime

Daily

Establish periods of smartphone downtime each day, at least for 2h. Disconnect from your smartphone and the internet for those designated periods each day to create space for meaningful experiences and cherished memories. Reconnect with whoever nourishes your soul - be it nature, a captivating book, quality time with loved ones, or simply enjoying the company of your partner.
