How it works

The worksheet is the paper version of the Offline.now Matrix. Answer two questions about motivation and confidence, find your starting place, and choose one small first step. Take the quiz online for a personalized result, or print the worksheet and use it on paper.

The worksheet sorts you into one of four types, and each type has its own full guide: Stuck, Overwhelmed, Ready, and Unconcerned.

Use it in your community

The worksheet is free to share. Use it as a conversation starter, a workshop handout, or a simple first step for people who want a healthier relationship with screens.

Libraries

Offer it on shelves, in branch programs, or as part of digital-wellbeing displays. Co-branded versions may be available.

Schools

Give students and families a shame-free starting point for screen-habit conversations.

Workplaces

Add it to wellness programming as a practical, low-pressure first step teams can actually use.

FAQ

Is the worksheet really free?

Yes. Download the PDF and share as many copies as you like, with no email address required. It’s free for individuals and free for groups, and libraries, schools, and workplaces are encouraged to build it into their programs. Co-branded versions may be available for library systems: email us and ask.

What’s the difference between the quiz and the worksheet?

They ask the same two questions about motivation and confidence, and they land you in the same place. The free quiz is two questions and takes less than a minute: it shows you your type and points you to your starting place. The worksheet does the same on paper, at your own pace.

Do I need the quiz to use the worksheet?

No. The worksheet stands alone: answer the two questions on the page, find your type, and choose your first step there. The quiz adds a personalized result sent by email. Use whichever suits you, or both, and retake either when life shifts, since your type is a state, never a fixed trait.

After recovering from paralysis, Amanda Campbell noticed a pattern among burned-out leaders: they’d tried every strategy, yet their bodies still wouldn’t let them rest. This post explains why burnout isn’t a mindset problem, but a somatic one—and how the THRIVE program was designed to rebuild resilience by addressing the nervous system, stored stress, and the physical realities of digital overload, not just productivity habits.

Realistic New Year Resolutions: Why Big Goals Fail »

December 29, 2025

Most New Year resolutions fail because they rely on motivation instead of systems. If you’re tired of the all-or-nothing cycle, there’s a better way. Tiny “If-Then” rules—like plugging in your phone across the room or delaying checks until a set time—turn vague intentions into automatic habits. These micro-steps build confidence, reduce overwhelm, and help you create realistic New Year resolutions that actually last. Change happens when your rules get smaller, not when your goals get bigger.

Instead of chasing a “new you,” you’ll learn how to design systems that support your brain, reduce friction, and make progress feel possible again.

Winter Fog: How to Manage the “Do Something” Urge »

December 22, 2025

Winter can leave ADHD brains feeling “tired but wired”—exhausted, restless, and pulled toward constant stimulation. This post explains why shorter days, less movement, and more screen exposure intensify ADHD restlessness, and why it’s a nervous system response, not a discipline issue. With simple, regulating swaps like micro-movement, sensory anchors, and gentler evening light, you’ll learn how to clear the winter fog without spiraling into digital overload or self-blame.
