Step away from the screen. Come back to yourself.

Make the first hour easier.
The urge to check your phone is often strongest when a trip has no shape yet. Give your arrival a small analogue rhythm before you go.
- Write down your first walk, meal and quiet activity.
- Tell one person how and when you’ll be reachable.
- Keep your phone somewhere deliberate, not in your hand.
- Leave space for weather, naps and unplanned discoveries.
