@NammaBESCOM Near Geethanjali School, Kaggadaspaura - 560093. All day, low voltage.

@Airtel_Presence Its been a week now. Nobody is even bothered to take accountability. Customer support is keen on hanging up with false promises of EOD resolution and no nodal officer emails respond. Cancel this and process refund. Clearly #Airtel_Does_Not_Care @Airtel_Presence .

@airtelindia @airtel_presence Paid ₹1,500 for a new broadband connection on 06 Jul & completed KYC + docs — despite promising same-day installation, it's been stuck at "Installation In Progress" for 3 days. No engineer showed up. 121 just deflects. Request ID: C5E82JEDSJ.

[Rolet Oliver Fernandes @roletoliver]

@Airtel_Presence It's been over 6 hours since I shared all the requested details via DM, but I haven't received any response. Another day has gone by with no progress or update. Kindly provide a definitive status on my installation. @Airtel_Presence @airtelindia

[Rolet Oliver Fernandes @roletoliver]

@Airtel_Presence Done, I've sent all the details via DM. I chose Airtel expecting reliability, hoping the service lives up to that. Please look into this urgently. Thanks.

[Rolet Oliver Fernandes @roletoliver]

@Airtel_Presence Still waiting on a response to my DM. It's been 3 days with no installation despite full payment. Please follow up. @Airtel_Presence @airtelindia

@MKBHD Feels like people don’t actually want less phone…
they want less distraction.
Been building something around that idea.

[Yin Yang Launcher @YinYangLauncher]

🧘‍♂️ Introducing Mindful Pause
A moment before you open the app.
Breathe. Reflect. Reconnect.

Digital wellness is like broccoli 🥦
Everyone knows it’s good for them.
Very few crave it.
Even fewer actually do something about it.

Everything you need to know about the science of mindful pauses and digital wellness.

[Rolet Oliver Fernandes @roletoliver]

You tap Instagram "just for a minute" and suddenly 30 minutes are gone.

Sound familiar?

Here's how a simple 5-second pause can break this dopamine cycle 🧵

[Rolet Oliver Fernandes @roletoliver]

Ready to take back control?

Try mindful pause today or download @YinYangLauncher to automate it.

Your future self (with more free time, less digital clutter) will thank you.

Calmer digital life is seconds away ⏸️

[Rolet Oliver Fernandes @roletoliver]

Research is clear: interrupts make us less impulsive, more aware.

A mindful pause creates choice where there wasn't one before.

Hands control back to YOU instead of letting apps control your attention.

[Rolet Oliver Fernandes @roletoliver]

Goal isn't to never use social media.

It's to use it on YOUR terms – when you consciously choose to – rather than being pulled in by habit at every notification.

You're not powerless. You need the right strategies.

[Rolet Oliver Fernandes @roletoliver]

No app needed. Create your own mindful pauses:

1️⃣ Turn off non-essential notifications
2️⃣ Move distracting apps off home screen
3️⃣ Switch to grayscale mode
4️⃣ Deep breath before unlocking
5️⃣ Phone-free times/zones

[Rolet Oliver Fernandes @roletoliver]

User feedback:

"I realized I didn't need to check Facebook for the 10th time, so I closed it during the pause and moved on."

These tiny decisions not to engage add up to massive time savings and better mental health.

[Rolet Oliver Fernandes @roletoliver]

This is why we built Mindful Pause into @YinYangLauncher.

Tap distracting apps → see calming yin-yang animation → "Take a deep breath..."

Configurable apps and duration. Early users love it.

[Rolet Oliver Fernandes @roletoliver]

The pause works because habits operate unconsciously.

Psychologist Jessica Koehler: "By pausing and thinking about what you're doing, you can make different choices."

It's not restriction – it's empowerment through awareness.

[Rolet Oliver Fernandes @roletoliver]

Think about it:

If you check social media 50x daily, and pause stops you just 18 times (36%), that's potentially HOURS saved from mindless scrolling.

Small interruptions = massive behavior change.

[Rolet Oliver Fernandes @roletoliver]

Does this work? The data says YES.

One Sec app study found:
->36% changed their mind during pause
->57% fewer app opens
->77 fewer minutes/day on phones
->69% said it "solved" their phone addiction

[Rolet Oliver Fernandes @roletoliver]

Enter "mindful pause":

Instead of apps opening instantly, you get 10-60 seconds of breathing space with gentle animation.

You can still proceed, but that tiny speed bump transforms mindless impulse into conscious choice.
