What's an artificial limitation you put on yourself that has improved your personal life? (lemmy.ml)

I've designated one room in my house to be an Airplane Mode room. Technically it has WiFi but whenever I'm in it I behave as if my phone didn't have any reception. Believe it or not, actively pretending that your phone has no WiFi works better than just passively putting on airplane mode. I always get a sense of calmness when I enter.

What artificial limits do you impose on yourself that ultimately enrich your life?

I like coffee flavour and the habit of it. But every once in a while I quite drinking it for months, and waking up in the morning feels so much better. There's no morning grogginess, or oveall tired feeling, just wide awake instantly and ready for the day. Caffeine really does make us dependent even though it is subtle
