Systematically audit your screen behavior to identify which forms of screen use genuinely enhance your well-being and which ones detract from it, then adjust your usage accordingly.
Before using your phone, pause to reflect on the underlying psychological need it’s meeting (e.g., loneliness, boredom, anxiety), and then explore alternative ways to fulfill that need.
Remove your phone from the bedroom entirely, especially 60-90 minutes before bedtime, to create dedicated phone-free periods and improve the quality of your rest.
Keep phones out of reach and sight during dinner, ideally in another room, to foster presence, communication, and stronger relationships during meals.
Employ a physical ‘unplugged box’ or similar container in sensitive areas of your home, like the kitchen, to store devices and prevent their impulsive use.
Embrace a philosophy of experimentalism by consciously trying out different ways of living (e.g., varying tech use) to discover better alternatives and understand their impact on your well-being.
Implement regular, short ‘digital detoxes’ throughout your day, such as the first hour after waking or around lunch, to consistently experience periods without screens.
Engage in screen-free activities like long walks in nature or designate entire days (e.g., Sundays) without phones to experience profound restoration and a sense of holiday.
Actively seek out small, restorative bursts of nature exposure, such as observing running water or wind through leaves, as an antidote to constant technology immersion.
Intentionally spend time in environments or interactions (e.g., looking into someone’s eyes, natural landscapes) where you cannot tell what year it is, as this experience is deeply restorative.
Consume AG1 daily to support digestion and enrich your gut microbiome, as its five strains of gut bacteria have been shown to increase beneficial bacteria up to tenfold.
