 # My Evening Digital Routine for Better Focus and Rest In a world that never stops buzzing, I found my evenings were the most chaotic — screens kept me wired, sleep felt distant, and my mind raced at night. So I designed a digital routine that helps me **wind down mentally and physically**, ready for rest and better focus the next day. --- ## ⏰ 1. Screen-Free Zone After Dinner **By 8 PM**, all screens are off. No phones, no laptop, no TV.
