A small practice for the visible phone

A practical exercise: Move it out of view for one short passage of writing.

Original practice · Optional exercise · Attention with edges

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

  1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A phone lights up beside a handwritten note.
  2. Move it out of view for one short passage of writing.
  3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
  4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
