DESIGNATE DISTRACTION
Keep entertainment in one intentional place with another device.
The goal isn’t to eliminate entertainment.
The goal is to stop relying on your phone for it.
01
ESTABLISH A DIGITAL AREA
Choose one place where entertainment lives.
- Home office
- Specific chair
- Backyard
When you want to browse, scroll, research, or watch something, go to your designated digital area.
02
SEPARATE UTILITY FROM ENTERTAINMENT
Your phone is for:
- Calls
- Texts
- Maps
- Music / Audio Books
- Cash Apps
- Camera
Your digital area is for your second device
Use a secondary device (laptop, tablet, old phone) for:
- Social media
- News
- YouTube
- Forums
- Entertainment
The internet should have a home. It shouldn't live in your pocket.
03
INTRODUCE FRICTION
If you want to consume something, do it in your digital area.
That small amount of friction changes everything.
You'll often find yourself wanting it less and less.
