Use this digital minimalism guide page as a setup checklist, not only as background reading. Write down your primary risk scenario, configure the rule, test it across your main device, backup device, and browser paths, then review what changed after a week.

Frequently asked questions
Is deleting the app enough for digital minimalism guide?
Deleting the app can help, but it rarely covers browser access, alternate domains, notifications, ads, or reinstalling during a high-risk moment.

Should I involve another person?
For gambling, relapse, or repeated late-night loops, involving a trusted person often makes rule changes safer and reduces secrecy.

No. This is an educational access-reduction guide. If gambling or compulsive use is causing harm, seek qualified professional support.
