Dopamine Detox Planner | 7-Day Phone Reset & 30-Day Challenge | Screen Time Tracker | Printable PDF
Picking up your phone "for a second" and losing an hour? This planner gives you a calm, step-by-step way to scroll less and get your focus and free time back, without giving up your phone.
It is honest about what a "dopamine detox" is. You can't detox a brain chemical. What works is a planned break from quick, high-stimulation habits like endless feeds, short videos and constant notifications, plus better things to do instead. This planner walks you through exactly that.
