Context

Daily life online is a negotiation. The individual seeks well-being, yet is bombarded by external influences: notifications, ads, dopamine loops.

The Triad

–1 = External Influence
The constant pings, nudges, hooks engineered for attention.
0 = Well-being
The person’s health, clarity, rest, balance.
+1 = Digital Hygiene
The shield: routines, filters, and mental models that defend.

Teaching

It is a war of attrition. Most mortals fight without a shield.
Digital hygiene is the conscious practice that keeps influence from consuming well-being.

Covenant

“Guard your mind as you guard your home.”
