A cheap analog alarm clock makes this one stick. "I need it for my alarm" is the usual reason the phone ends up next to the bed.

Started charging my phone in the kitchen instead of next to the bed. First few nights I kept reaching for it. Now I'm usually asleep before I'd normally be done scrolling. Where does your phone sleep at night?

Eating without a screen makes it easier to notice when you're full. Parking the phone in another room for dinner is a small swap that sticks. Table, couch, or desk for most of your dinners?

Stopped eating dinner on the couch with the TV on. Table, phone in the other room, that's it. Two weeks in, way less bloated at night and I actually notice when I'm full instead of when the show ends. Where do you eat dinner most nights: table, couch, or the car?

Hours of sitting leave the hips tight. A slow kneeling hip flexor stretch, about 30 seconds per side, is an easy one to start with, and a long exhale while you hold it helps you wind down. Where do you feel tight after a long day: hips, lower back, or neck?

Started doing 5 minutes of easy floor stretches before bed instead of one more scroll. Nothing fancy, just hips and lower back. Two weeks in, getting out of bed in the morning doesn't feel like a creaky door anymore. What's the last thing you do before lights out?

A mild dip in hydration can feel a lot like a caffeine craving: dull headache, foggy focus, low energy. A glass of water before the first cup is an easy way to find out which one you actually needed.

Started drinking a big glass of water before I touch my coffee in the morning. A week in, the 10am headache I thought was just "needing more caffeine" mostly stopped showing up. Water first or coffee first at your place?

No counting needed. Breathe in through your nose, then let the exhale run about twice as long, like slowly fogging a window. Works at a red light too. Where does tension show up first for you: shoulders, jaw, or stomach?

Before I open my email in the morning, I take 5 slow breaths with a longer exhale than inhale. Takes under a minute, and I'm not walking into the workday already tense with my shoulders up by my ears. What's the first thing you do before work hits?
