If the phone is in your hand before you're out of bed, this short practice is for you. You set it up once, any time today, and it does its work the next time your alarm goes off.

Set your phone's scheduled quiet hours to end about ten minutes after your alarm, and let calls through from the people who might really need you. Decide what those ten minutes are for, using something already in your morning: making the coffee, waking the kids, a minute at the back door while the dog's out. Then keep one rule: headlines, email and group chats wait until after ten.

Some mornings you'll still reach for the phone out of habit. The goal isn't a perfect morning. It's a start where the first word isn't the world's worst news or somebody else's emergency.
