Sophia Inability To Unplug Protocol

The inability to unplug—marked by phantom notifications and email anxiety—is what happens when work becomes your entire identity. Buddhist non-attachment isn't about not caring; it's about deliberately letting go of the corporate identity at the end of the day.

Quick Summary

What it is: Phantom slack notifications and the Sunday scaries are signs of an "always on" culture. Use Buddhist non-attachment to log off mentally.
What it helps with: Separation anxiety from devices, digital dependency, offline FOMO, screen-identity attachment.
How to use it: Open Sophia → Describe how the pattern shows up today, as plainly as you can → When it comes back, write again and notice what has changed
