Making a Planned Device Break Visible
For a planned device break, choose what you will do instead of checking a feed: prepare a drink, sketch, or tidy a small area. Set the duration before beginning that activity.
At the ending, decide whether to return to the device or continue the break. No account or session history is required, and the timer does not measure health effects from avoiding a screen.
Setting a visual timer for a 2-hour "low stimulation" block provides psychological reassurance. You aren't giving up your phone forever; you are simply waiting until the visual cue completes. The timer provides a safe container for the discomfort of withdrawal.
