You needNothing
Modern necessity, ancient default
Four consecutive waking hours with every screen off and out of reach. Fill it with anything analogue: cooking, walking, making, talking, nothing. The first hour itches. The remaining three are where you remember what your own attention feels like at full strength.
How to do it
- 1Pick a four hour block and tell anyone who needs to know
- 2All screens off, phone in a drawer
- 3Have one analogue plan ready for the first hour
- 4Let the rest be unplanned
An experience, not a claim. Offered as a way to take a break. Away makes no health claim for it.
