Section 1
The big idea
Chatting with AI feels endless and fun. Before you know it, an hour has flown by. Setting your own limits — like 'just 20 minutes' — keeps AI a tool, not a time-eater.
Some examples
- Set a timer when you start an AI chat.
- Decide your goal first — what do you want to learn or make?
- Notice if you're using AI just to avoid being bored.
- Make sure you still see friends, play outside, and rest your eyes.
Try it!
Next time you open an AI app, set a 15-minute timer first. Stop when it rings!
