I started small. I have an automation that launches at 8 pm that does three things: * Sets dark mode * Sets reduce white point * Runs a shortcut I made asking me a few questions The questions are: 1. Will you get ready for bed? Sleep affects your next day. (I have to click yes/no) 2. Will you go brush your teeth after this? (The first step. I have to click yes/no) 3. It gives me a list of things I may want to do to wind down: a walk (based on steps), tidying, reading a book 4. Then it prompts me to look at a small diary/todo I made in the morning and comment on it. And then look at my screen time stats. I find this helpful. And since I always want to reduce white point, this means I will automatically want to click the notification to run it. I hopefully eventually they will have AND and OR conditions in automations. Eg if between 8:30 and 11:30 AND I open instagram, open my todo list.

On a very distantly tangential note, based on your list of questions, I wonder if you may find this pair of links very interesting: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/episode-31-the-feltron-annual-report/ https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/episode-31-the-feltro... https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reporter-app/id779697486 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reporter-app/id779697486 I'm not suggesting you replace your steps, I just think you're more likely than average to enjoy them. If not, no worries :)

You know that Do Not disturb and Nightshft can both be scheduled to come on at 8pm without automations? (Not that I'm knocking you, if you just wanted to tinker).

  Yeah. Set white point can't be scheduled. I put in night mode because why not run both the light reducing features at once? Plus it's an incentive to run the shortcut. I want darkness, and run the questions as a side effect.
