After using an app or AI tool, pause and ask: do I feel calmer, more capable, and more connected, or more drained? Let the answer guide your habits.

Set aside regular, screen-free time with people you care about. AI can assist with life, but relationships are where wellbeing grows.

Choose one or two trusted sources and set a time to check them. Constant updates about AI rarely help, and often heighten anxiety.

Images, voices, and text can be synthetic. Slow down, verify with a second source, and be gentle with yourself if you are unsure.

Small, steady learning about new tools can replace a sense of helplessness with a sense of agency. You do not need to master everything.

Your worth is not measured by productivity. Rest, creativity, care, and community matter, whatever machines can do.
