The Screen-Free Summer Challenge: 30 Days of Puzzles

Here is a challenge: replace your phone scrolling with a puzzle for 30 days this summer.

Not all your screen time. Just the mindless scrolling. The Instagram doom scroll at 10 PM. The Reddit rabbit hole at lunch. The TikTok vortex when you should be sleeping.

Replace that with a puzzle. Here is your calendar.

Days 1-5: Easy Sudoku — 30 Easy Sudoku Puzzles ($4.99 on Etsy). One puzzle each evening.

Days 6-10: Word Search — 30 Easy Word Search Puzzles ($4.99 on Etsy). The relaxing mid-challenge break.

What You Will Notice by Day 30

Sharper focus during the day. Better sleep at night (no blue light before bed). A sense of accomplishment that scrolling never gave you. And a new habit that might actually stick.
