It's not silly, it's rest.

It might sound silly but it’s a simple way to incorporate rest into my daily routine. I’m intentionally protecting myself against overstimulation, overwhelm and burnout.

Our brains crave rest. A fantastic opportunity for rest is during periods of “cold boredom” while doing tasks that don’t take much mental effort. It’s during these same tasks when we often find ourselves reaching for our phones.

Can you choose a recurring situation where you can put your phone down? I chose while brushing my teeth; other suggestions are: waiting to collect kids from school/daycare, in the elevator, in line at the store, while eating…

When will you experience the joy of cold boredom and give your brain a rest?
