New Month, New Challenge!

The dopamine machine in your pocket doesn’t care about your best life. It wants your attention, your time, and your energy. And it’s winning.

We tell ourselves stories: “I need my phone for work.” “What if someone calls?” “I’m just checking for a second.” But research tells a different story. In a study where participants ditched internet on their phones for 14 days (but kept access on their computers), they were happier. Not just a little happier—measurably, undeniably happier.

What if you could feel that, too?

The Hard Reset

Here’s the challenge: turn off the internet on your phone. Completely. No mobile data, no WiFi. Two weeks. That’s it.

It will feel strange at first. The itch to check, to scroll, to distract will creep in. But then, something shifts. You notice the world again. Your thoughts get space to breathe. You’re less reactive, more present, and—shockingly—life goes on just fine.

The Other Side

Two weeks from now, something surprising might happen. You’ll feel calmer. Less rushed. More engaged in conversations that aren’t cut off by a buzzing notification. Maybe you’ll even reclaim an old hobby or discover a new one.

Or, you could just keep scrolling.
