Minimal desk with a planner, water bottle, and phone in grayscale — digital detox theme
Attention is a budget. Spend it where returns are highest.

“I didn’t have a willpower problem — I had a window problem.”

I used to open my phone “for a minute” and lose an hour. My mornings started with pings, and nights ended with blue light. One Sunday, I made a deal with myself: no notifications on the lock screen, two deep-work blocks, and a 45-minute screen curfew.

The first week felt quiet. By week two, afternoons were calmer. By week three, I was finishing work earlier and sleeping deeper. This chapter is the step-by-step that kept me honest when motivation faded.

Why this matters

When your phone wins the morning and the night, it also wins your day. Detox protects energy for the work that compounds.

Core problem

Lock-screen alerts, infinite feeds, and app clutter spike dopamine, fragment attention, and steal sleep.

How we fix it

Notification audit → grayscale & one-screen home → 2 deep-work blocks → evening screen curfew → weekly reset.

The Detox Levers (stack in order)

1) Notification Audit

Turn off lock-screen for non-humans. Keep calls/calendar/critical only.

2) Grayscale + One-Screen Home

Remove red dots. Dock: calls, camera, calendar, maps. Everything else in folders.

3) 2× Deep-Work Blocks

90 minutes after breakfast, 60 minutes mid-afternoon. Phone outside arm’s reach.

4) Evening Screen Curfew

Last 45 minutes off screens. Read, stretch, or plan tomorrow.

5) Weekly Digital Reset

Uninstall time-sinks, archive pics, Inbox Zero once, and tidy the home screen.

Notebook checklist next to a grayscale phone and noise-free desk — focus routine
Quiet defaults win. Build rails once; let habits ride them daily.

          FAQ

          Is grayscale really helpful?

          Yes. Removing color salience lowers the urge to tap. It’s a small friction that adds up.

          What if my job requires constant messaging?

          Use VIP/priority contacts and batch the rest. Keep deep-work blocks calendar-protected.

          How long should a screen curfew be?

          Start with 30–45 minutes. Most people feel sleep quality improve within a week.

          Do I need app blockers?

          Optional. Start with lock-screen off + home screen minimalism; add blockers if needed.

          How do I avoid relapse?

          Run a Sunday reset: uninstall one time-sink, clear photos, tidy folders, and review KPIs.
