Unsubscribe from all your mailing lists
Unfollow everyone on Twitter
Turn off all your Facebook notifications
Unfriend those non-friends
Mark everything as read
Break the Snapchat chain
Stop counting likes
Tear up your To Do list
Throw away your Post-Its
Remove all the bookmarks from your half-finished books
Cancel your unused gym membership
Set the alarm clock half an hour earlier
Go to bed an hour sooner
Give away your old clothes
Clear all the music off your phone
Remove all your apps
Silence the notifications
Cancel your magazine subscriptions
Walk a different route
Lunch at a different time
Stand still for two minutes, breathing
Stare at a corner for two minutes, breathing
Turn the television off at the switch
Don’t record those shows
Don’t catch up
Don’t finish the boxset
Hold hands
Walk there
Play
They say “Do one thing every day that scares you”
Well, here’s a list.
