### [Give your phone a narrow role](https://live.freewith.tech/practices/give-your-phone-a-narrow-role.md)

A phone becomes less controlling when it is no longer expected to do everything.

**Start small:** Write down the three jobs your phone genuinely needs to do.

### [Dedicate devices by purpose](https://live.freewith.tech/practices/dedicate-devices-by-purpose.md)

A device with a clear role carries fewer unrelated temptations and makes its context easier to understand.

**Start small:** Choose one device and write down the purpose you want it to serve.

### [Separate software contexts](https://live.freewith.tech/practices/separate-software-contexts.md)

Work, personal life, reading, and other contexts are easier to enter deliberately when software makes their boundaries visible.

**Start small:** Create one separate browser profile or workspace for the context that most often leaks into another.
