Map an ordinary digital habit from cue to consequence and locate one change.

UNDERSTAND
What is happening here?
A digital behavior may offer relief, stimulation, connection, or avoidance. The amount of use alone does not explain its function or impact. Mapping one episode can help a person identify a choice point without assuming that every frequent behavior is an addiction.

MAKE IT USEFUL
Notice. Discuss. Take one thing.
For thoughtful facilitation
Open with the concept, demonstrate one fictional example, allow individual exploration or paired discussion, and close with one optional takeaway. Ask what fits the participant’s culture, language, access needs, and present capacity. Invite observation instead of disclosure; do not interpret participation as a measure of motivation.
Fit and care: Use manageable or fictional examples and adapt within competence. This is educational practice, not diagnosis, crisis care, or individualized treatment.
