Digital Wellness
📋 What it is
Digital wellness is using screens on YOUR terms — apps are designed to grab attention, so you set the limits.
🗣️ Coach says
Apps are built by teams whose job is to keep you scrolling — endless feeds, pings, streaks. Knowing that flips the power back to you: turn off non-essential notifications, keep the phone out of reach while working, and choose WHEN to check, not letting the app choose. It is not weakness to be pulled in — the design is doing that on purpose.
🧠 Memory hook
Apps are DESIGNED to grab you. Take the controls: notifications off, phone away, YOU choose when.

Endless-scroll feeds have no "bottom" on purpose — a natural stopping point would let you put the phone down.
✅ Quick check: Why is it so hard to stop scrolling a feed?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
Feeds are designed with no natural end and constant new content to keep you watching.
The design removes stopping points on purpose, so YOU must set the limit.
