A small taste of Sabbath rest. Not a rule against technology — an invitation to remember life beyond it.
What to do
- 1Choose one hour on a weekend.
- 2All devices go in a drawer or basket — adults included.
- 3Spend the hour in analog activities: reading, conversation, board games, walking, music, prayer, or crafts.
- 4Afterward, talk about what you noticed.
Why it may help
Intentional breaks from screens can create room for rest, attention, and face-to-face connection.
