A mental model that encourages personal management of screen time to mitigate digital-induced stress and improve overall well-being.
Self-control and moderation are key elements of this mental model. It stresses the importance of time management and self-regulation in the use of digital devices. Excessive screen time can lead to mental distress and disrupt sleep patterns, thus impacting overall health. Adhering to this model requires setting personal rules, such as designating specific 'no screen' hours, taking periodic breaks from screen use, and limiting use of digital devices before bedtime. For example, one might decide to no longer use screens after 8 p.m., or to take 'screen breaks' every hour when working on a computer.
All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone - Blaise Pascal
