A change of season often brings anxiety and a list of impossible promises. Instead of making a desperate push, try experiencing it as a pause: acknowledge what was lost, gather the experience, and let go of what is no longer needed.
If every notification makes you lose your train of thought, it does not necessarily mean you have weak willpower. Let’s look at what attention stability is made of and how to support yourself without harsh restrictions.
