About this audiobook
The average person spends over four hours a day on their phone — seven full weeks every year. This practical guide shows you how to reclaim that time without going off-grid, deleting every app, or relying on willpower that always fails. Through nine focused chapters, you'll learn how phones are engineered to capture attention, how to redesign your digital environment so good choices become automatic, and how to follow a structured seven-day reset that fits real life. From phone-free mornings to lasting routines, this is your no-shame, no-drama plan for using technology intentionally — and getting your life back.
