I’ve been going phone free on the commute for over three months. I’ve been trying to think about the single most important lesson from the silence.

Then I read Juliette Ryan on the dopamine debt and it clicked.

So many people scroll heavily on the commute home. They aren’t decompressing - they are building a chemical hangover that they will bring home to their family.

Instead, use the evening commute to build a work/life airlock.
