“I've been sleeping better since I cut out screen time at night.”
Setting a simple rule — no screens after a certain hour — and trusting it is a perfect example of living within bounds. Small, self-imposed limits produce outsized benefits over time.
Your Practice
Keep the rule and defend it from exceptions. Notice which other areas of your life improve downstream — energy, focus, mood. Then ask: where else could one simple bound produce a similar effect?

“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”
