## What is Dusk Hours?

Dusk Hours helps you prepare a response for real-life moments before they happen.

Self-regulation is not about suppressing your feelings or forcing perfect behavior. It is about noticing what is
happening and choosing what you want to try next.

Create an IF/THEN plan for a situation you want to handle differently:

IF I get home before 8 pm,  
THEN I will go straight to the gym.

IF I notice I am about to reply defensively,  
THEN I will pause and ask one question first.

IF I pick up my phone and start scrolling without a purpose,  
THEN I will put it down and return to what I intended to do.

IF I notice I am avoiding the first step,  
THEN I will open the draft and write one sentence.

When the moment happens, record what happened in a few taps. Did you notice the cue in time? Did you try the response
you prepared? Did a smaller alternative fit better? After enough real opportunities, review the plan and make it
clearer, smaller, or more useful.

A plan is not a command, a promise, or a test of your character. It is an option you prepared while you had more room
to think.

FREE AND PRO

Your first active plan and its complete first review cycle are free. Dusk Hours Pro unlocks unlimited planning,
history, and revisions. Paused and retired plans remain in your library. Existing Dusk Hours subscriptions continue
to be recognized.

Dusk Hours is a planning and reflection tool. It does not provide therapy, diagnosis, medical treatment, or emergency
support. It does not claim to detect your emotions or judge your performance.

Your impulse is real, but it does not have to make the decision for you.
