Section 01Wellness Education
Shrink the Surveillance Surface
Audit app permissions, prefer privacy-respecting tools, and minimize accounts. You cannot leak what you never share.
Section 02Wellness Education
Break the Loop
Turn off non-essential notifications, remove infinite-scroll triggers, and schedule intentional use. Friction is freedom.
Section 03Wellness Education
Verify, Don't Obey
Treat AI output as a draft. Demand sources, keep a human in the loop on big decisions, and notice convenience hardening into dependence.
