Subtle wearable filters relay only priority alerts, while e‑ink displays stay legible under sunlight and resist hyperactive glow. The intention is clarity, not more data. Try a week with fewer notifications and note your mood at lunch; reply with your results to inspire others.

Design Your Daily Reset Ritual

Use a sunrise clock to wake gently, then outline three priorities on paper before touching any screen. The absence of headlines and feeds preserves creative energy for your most important task. What will you protect tomorrow morning? Tell us and join our morning reset challenge.
