Digital Silence

Weekly practice

Notice what attention feels like without optional feeds, alerts, or AI tools setting the pace.

The practice

  1. Choose a bounded start and end time.
  2. Decide what stays available for safety, care, accessibility, and necessary work.
  3. Silence optional alerts and place feeds or AI tools out of immediate reach.
  4. Notice urges, thoughts, and available activities without treating them as a purity test. Re-enter deliberately when time ends.

Adapt it

Begin with ten minutes or silence one category of input. Use accessibility tools and essential communication without apology.

Stop if

Disconnection creates a safety, care, work, or accessibility problem. Restore what is needed; the practice is observation, not deprivation.
