The phone buzzes and some part of you answers before you decide to. This is the case for closing that loop on purpose: why constant availability quietly trains your attention to stay elsewhere, what actually happens in the first restless minutes of going quiet, and how to build stretches of true offline time that hold even when someone expects a reply. Calm, direct, and genuinely doable.
