I’ve designated one room in my house to be an Airplane Mode room. Technically it has WiFi but whenever I’m in it I behave as if my phone didn’t have any reception. Believe it or not, actively pretending that your phone has no WiFi works better than just passively putting on airplane mode. I always get a sense of calmness when I enter.
What artificial limits do you impose on yourself that ultimately enrich your life?
Whenever there’s elections I wait for somebody to mention the result in conversation unprompted and find out that way, to stop myself from doom scrolling
I ignore the results until they’re all in as well. The time to worry and do things is before the ballots are cast.
