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?

    No caffeine multiple days in a row. I often enjoy it, and I don’t think it’s really that bad for you, but I don’t like the way it adjusts my personality and state of mind if that makes sense and it’s easy to get addicted enough to start feeling like crap if you don’t have any.

      Same here, I don’t drink a lot of it compared to many but I still try to take a month long break at least once a year to ‘reset’ so it feels good again instead of needing it to just get through the day.

      It’s not as bad as nicotine, but part of what’s happening is your sleep quality is declining from going without your substances. Even without cutting into the later day it’s best to avoid drinking coffee or a lot of tea all the time.
