If “just a minute” on your phone quietly becomes forty-five, this book is for you. Offline.now: A Practical Guide to Healthy Digital Balance is available on Amazon, Apple, Kobo and Barnes and Noble.
Why I wrote it
I’ve spent most of my life up close with the web – building communities, watching the social web evolve, and noticing how “always-on” crept into every corner of life. A few years back I shifted into mentor coaching and got a late ADHD diagnosis, which sharpened my view of how differently each of us engages with tools that weren’t always designed for our brains. The Offline.now Matrix grew from that work – a simple way to meet you where you are, without guilt, and help you start small.
What’s inside
- A quick self-check – the Offline.now Matrix – to map your motivation and confidence, then choose the next right step.
- Short, micro chapters with Key Takeaways and Next Steps so you can act the same day.
- Practical strategies to tame notifications, create phone-free zones, and reconnect with offline life.
