You do not need a big plan to start with teen screen habits. A tiny plan that fits your week is more useful than a perfect one you skip.

Spread the practice across the day rather than piling it into one long block. Spreads survive busy weeks.
Keep the bar honest. Meeting the bar is a win. Exceeding it is a bonus.

- A version for the balcony or porch
- A quiet version for low-energy days

- A version for the kitchen table
- A version with music on
- A version for park visits
- A version for airport terminals
- A rainy-day version that stays indoors
In a hallway
Listen to your body and your week. Adjust without judgment when something is not working.
- A flexible version for unpredictable weeks
- A budget-friendly version with what you already have
- A travel version that fits in a small bag

- A version for the living room floor
- A version for train commutes
A whole-home reminder
Borrow from people you already trust. Ask a friend what works for them. Steal the small ideas.
Give it a spot in your day, not just a slot on your calendar.
Steady, friendly, and a little curious is the right speed.
