Constant pings flood reward circuits, but real change starts with a clear why. Audit unlocks for one day, highlight the three apps that steal most energy, and label every pickup mood.

Slip ups are data, not defeat; review Fridays and adjust. Consistent boundaries compound into focus, calmer sleep, and technology that serves you.
