Plan a Digital Detox That Does Not Immediately Collapse
You have gone cold turkey on the apps before and crawled back within days, because the urge always wins around 9pm. This works out what the platform is actually giving you, connection, stimulation, validation, then builds a reduction with enough structure to hold past that first quiet evening. Suits anyone whose detoxes keep collapsing on day three.

**Design a detox with enough structure to last beyond the first long evening.**

2. Design a replacement activity for each function.
3. Build a graduated reduction rather than an immediate ban: what does week one look like vs week four?
4. Design the environment for success: what physical and app-level changes make the detox easier?
5. Set a review date: what would count as success after 30 days?
