A useful visual trigger:
screensaver on, autopilot off.

Apps are designed to grab your attention and not let go. With clever mechanisms such as triggers, quick actions, instant rewards and personal investment, they draw you in deeper. Every notification is a parenthesis. Understanding how this works is step one. Breaking through is step two.

​​ ​​ In step 19 of the SmartSapiens Challenge we introduce the smartsapiens screensavers. These visual reminders are an alternative trigger. So you mindlessly grab your phone? Then your own lockscreen will remind you to switch back to conscious behavior. It goes a little further than that and you will gradually discover the Smartsapiens Challenge. ​​ ​​​

Sapiens who follow the Challenge know how effective this can be.
Screensaver. Autopilot off.
