A spare moment often turns into another scroll through messages or social media. A screen-free break gives that time a different purpose, even if it only lasts a few minutes.
Pick a natural pause in your day, such as after lunch or when you finish a task. Put your phone aside and choose something simple: look out of the window, step outside or make a cup of tea without checking notifications.
Keep the break easy to repeat. There is no need to track every minute or turn it into a challenge. If putting the phone in another room helps, try that. If you need to stay reachable, leave calls enabled and silence the apps that can wait.
Notice what suits your day and adjust as needed. A useful routine should leave you with less to manage.
