The 10 Minute Rule: Mastering Internal Triggers
The 10 minute rule is a technique from acceptance and commitment therapy that allows individuals to give in to distractions, but not immediately. By delaying gratification for 10 minutes, individuals establish agency and prove to themselves that they have control over their impulses. This technique helps to ease psychological reactance and prevent rumination. The rule can be adjusted to shorter time intervals, such as the 5 minute rule, to gradually build the ability to delay gratification. Another technique is to schedule worry time later in the day, where individuals can address and prioritize their concerns. This scheduling technique helps to alleviate the need to constantly worry about tasks and enables better decision-making. The same principle can be applied to children's use of technology by scheduling specific times for activities like playing video games, reducing their need to constantly think about it throughout the day.
