Discipline in December. Scoring will be done in two ways: First, Post. Each Post in the Month counts as 1 point. Second, put away your smartphone when you are with family. That means that your M and your 2.0’s will not see you looking at your phone all evening (or whenever you are with them). After M time, after 2.0’s are in bed, then you can handle slack business browse, watch, . . . etc.

Exceptions: you don’t need a bunch of rules or potential loopholes here. You know what you need to do to accomplish this challenge.

Create stillness in the external space around you and practice creating a stillness in your mind.
