Twenty-four hours, zero notifications, and one small rectangle sitting in a drawer, whispering your name. That is the whole challenge. No maps, no group chat, no checking one tiny thing that mysteriously becomes forty-five minutes of checking everything.
Walk through an imaginary phone-free day below, hour by hour, and answer with what you would genuinely do — not what a wise mountain hermit would do. Score high and congratulations, you are basically untethered. Score low and welcome to a very large club; the drawer is right there, and it knows your habits.
