About me

I am thirty-nine, and a few years ago I counted my phone pickups for a week and stopped counting at four hundred. I did not feel more connected. I felt like a man who could not finish a sentence. So I deleted the apps one by one, switched off every notification and started carrying a notebook and a paper map instead.

I write about what I tried, what worked and what did not, in a letter every Sunday. What I sell is the part that is useful to you. There is a thirty day guide, worksheets and planners to print, and two video courses for a calmer phone and for reading and focus without apps. Nothing here asks you to throw your phone away. It only asks you to decide what it is for.
