Leave your phone in another room for an hour

Put your phone out of sight and reach for one full hour.

Why it helps

Even a silent phone nearby can pull at your attention. Distance may help you settle into whatever you are doing.

How to do it

2. Put your phone in another room, on silent.
3. Do one thing you care about until the hour is up.
