New year's resolution

New year's resolution: less phone. This year with a plan, not hope.

The resolution is the same every year — and gone by January 12. Not because you're weak. Because you're fighting a thousand designers with nothing but good will.

This puck helps you stare at your smartphone less often.

“The Zenbox is such a well-made gadget for digital breaks that you wonder why nobody thought of it before. It reduces the time you spend on your smartphone effectively and without hassle. There is no subscription, no sign-up and the app shares no data with the developer.”

Why the phone resolution always fails

"Less phone" fails twice as a resolution: it's vague and demands a new willpower decision at every grab — 200 times a day against apps built for exactly that moment. Resolutions don't fail on motivation. They fail on missing structure.

How to keep the resolution until December

  1. Make it concrete: not "less phone" but "no feed after 9pm" and "max 20 minutes social media daily."
  2. Make it automatic: schedules and limits run on their own — willpower needed only once: at setup.
  3. Make it physical: exceptions only via scan at the Zenbox in the hall. The walk there is the thinking time your resolution needs.
  4. Make it visible: streaks show every day kept — resolution becomes a series you don't want to break.

The January deal with yourself: the 30-day money-back guarantee covers exactly the critical first month.

FAQ

Why should this year work?

Because you're betting on structure for the first time: automatic locks, physical exception hurdle, visible progress.

How concrete should the resolution be?

Concrete enough a stranger could verify it: fixed times, fixed limits. "Less" isn't a plan — "quiet from 9pm" is.

What if I relapse?

One scroll evening doesn't break the resolution — only the day. Locks apply again tomorrow morning — automatically.

The last January you make this resolution.

Because this time it holds.
