Digital Boundaries →
Your phone is the first thing you touch in the morning and the last thing at night. Reclaim your attention from the most sophisticated manipulation engines ever built. You'll navigate four escalating scenarios — from the screen time report to the analog hour — practicing the decisions that matter most when the pressure is real and the stakes are personal. This isn't theory. It's practice for the moments that define how this chapter of your life unfolds.
Skills you'll build
What happens in this story4 scenarios
You announce one analog hour per day — no screens, no exceptions. Your friends laugh. Your own brain is already negotiating exceptions before you've even started.
Fifteen minutes into your first analog hour and the boredom is excruciating. You catch yourself reaching for the phone three times — and each time, you sit with the discomfort instead.
Someone needs you urgently — or at least they say they do. The guilt of being unreachable collides with the peace you're just starting to feel. One hour shouldn't be this hard to protect.
You're sketching, or cooking, or just sitting — and for the first time in months, your mind isn't fragmented. The analog hour isn't about hating technology — it's about remembering who you are without it.
