How do you draw the line with your phone to protect your headspace?

A natural way to answer

I've set a few firm boundaries that genuinely help. The phone goes on charge in another room overnight, and I keep the mornings screen-free until I've had breakfast. It's a small discipline, but it stops the constant noise from encroaching on my peace of mind.

Key phrases to use

• down the drain — wasted or lost completely“Without sleep, my productivity goes down the drain.”
• suck me in — to draw you in so completely that you lose track of time or intention“Social media sucks me in for hours.”
• encroaching on — gradually intruding on something that should be protected“Work keeps encroaching on my evenings.”
• hijack your attention — to seize and hold your focus, usually against your will“Notifications are designed to hijack your attention.”
• frazzled — exhausted and mentally worn out, often from stress or overstimulation“By the end of the week I'm completely frazzled.”
• at the beck and call — always ready to do whatever someone or something demands“I refuse to be at the beck and call of my inbox.”
