Digital Pause
calm ritual 30 min +45 XP
Turn off all notifications for 30 mins
Why this matters
What arrives in half an hour is not the interesting part. How many times your hand reaches for the phone is.
What to do
Open settings and turn notifications off wholesale: do not disturb or flight mode, not app by app. Put the phone face down in another room, or at least in a bag. Set a timer on the oven or a watch so you do not grab the phone just to check the time. Spend the half hour on anything that is not a screen: dishes, a book, a walk, just sitting. When it rings, turn notifications back on and see how many of them actually needed you right then.
Afterwards
How many times in that half hour did I reach for the phone, and what was I actually looking for there?
