Where

At home, outdoors or visiting people, depending on your responsibilities.

## Before you start

Choose a day when essential work or care does not depend on a screen. Tell anyone who needs to reach you how to do so. Accessibility, medical and safety needs take priority; define any necessary exception before you start.

## How you would actually start

- Prepare the offline basics

Write down addresses, plans and important phone numbers. Downloading something still leaves you using a screen, so choose paper directions, printed tickets or an alternative where practical. Arrange meals and transport without creating extra work for someone else.

- Give the day a little shape

Choose a few screen-free options: cooking, reading a paper book, a walk, making something or seeing a friend. Leave unplanned space too. Put optional devices away so you do not have to make the same decision every few minutes.

- Close the day with a note

At your agreed end time, write what you did and when you most wanted to reach for a device. Note what helped and what was inconvenient. Decide whether there is one small part you want to repeat, without making a daily rule.

## What counts as done

You have lived the agreed day without optional screens, keeping any necessary exceptions you defined. Record what happened honestly rather than restarting over a technicality.

A screen-free day is an experiment, not a claim about health or willpower. Choose circumstances that let you enjoy it.
