Challenge structure

Keep it small: one app, one trigger, one pause, one daily note. This creates a measurable behavior signal without turning the challenge into a complex dashboard.

The practical workflow

Day 1: choose the trigger. Days 2 to 6: pause before access. Day 7: review screen time, avoided scrolls and what felt different.
