Run a digital declutter
Start with an “Audit” table that lists every app, subscription, or feed vying for your attention. Note what value it brings and what costs it introduces. Decide which tools earn a 30-day sabbatical, then schedule reminders in Dotty to check how the break affects your focus.
Define operating rules
For the apps you keep, write a short rule set: purpose, when you’ll use it, and boundaries to avoid mindless scrolling. Store the rules next to the related projects so they’re easy to revisit. Dotty’s reminders can nudge you when you drift outside the guardrails.
Fill the space with high-quality activities
Plan deliberate alternatives—walks, reading, deep work sprints—directly in your calendar. When you exit a decluttered tool, your Dotty plan is already waiting with a better option. Recording how you felt afterward builds proof that intentional time beats reactive screen time.
