Build a Better Relationship with Technology
Your phone checks you 186 times a day. Your apps are designed to keep you scrolling. Your team's focus is being stolen by tools that were supposed to help. I can help you take it back.
The Problem Isn't You
The apps on your phone were built by teams of psychologists and engineers whose job is to keep you scrolling. Your notification sounds were designed to trigger the same brain response as a slot machine. You're not weak. You're fighting a system that's engineered to win.
For You Personally
You pick up your phone without knowing why. You scroll past your bedtime. You check email before your feet hit the floor. Your kids see the top of your head more than your face. You know something's off, but willpower alone isn't working.
For Your Business
Your team can't hold focus for 20 minutes. Meetings are half-attention. Slack pings every 3 minutes. Everyone's "busy" but nothing's getting done. The tools you bought to increase productivity are doing the opposite.
For Your Family
Dinner conversations compete with screens. Kids can't play without a device. Nobody's present. The house is full of people who are somewhere else. You want to set boundaries but aren't sure where to start.
"The problem isn't that people lack willpower. The problem is that there are a thousand engineers on the other side of the screen whose job it is to break down the self-regulation you have."
How I Can Help
Three ways to work together, depending on where you are and what you need.
Digital Wellness Audit
I look at how your team uses technology and tell you what's helping and what's hurting. You get a written report and a tech etiquette policy your staff can actually follow.
- Tool audit: what you use vs. what you need
- Notification and distraction reduction plan
- Written technology etiquette policy
- Meeting and messaging guidelines
- After-hours expectations framework
- Written report with prioritized action items
- 1 follow-up check-in call
Team Workshop
A 90-minute hands-on session for your staff. Not a lecture. I change settings with you, help build habits, and create shared agreements together in the room.
- 90-minute on-site or remote session
- Live device setup (grayscale, notification purge, app timers)
- Team tech etiquette agreement (built together)
- Meeting and communication norms
- Printed quick-start guide for every attendee
- 30-day follow-up check-in
1-on-1 Coaching
Sit down with me for an hour. I'll look at your devices, your habits, and your goals. You and I will make changes on the spot and build a plan you can stick with.
- 60-minute session (in-person or remote)
- Full device audit (phone, tablet, computer)
- Personalized settings and app changes
- Screen time and notification overhaul
- Family device agreements (if applicable)
- Written action plan
- 2-week follow-up call
My Approach
I don't tell you to throw your phone away. I help you use it on your terms.
Understand Your Habits
I look at real data — screen time, app usage, notification patterns. No judgment. Just an honest picture of where your time and attention go.
Change the Environment
Willpower doesn't work against systems designed to beat it. I change settings, layouts, and defaults so the path of least resistance is the healthy one.
Build Small Habits
Phone-free meals. Notifications off. Grayscale mode. A real alarm clock. Tiny changes that compound into a completely different relationship with your devices.
Follow Up
Change doesn't stick in a single session. I check back to see what's working, what's slipping, and what needs adjusting. No extra charge.
Topics I Cover
Every session is customized, but here's what I typically work through.
Who This Is For
Small Business Owners
Your team is drowning in notifications and half-attention meetings. You need a tech etiquette policy that people actually follow — and someone to set it up with you.
Individuals
You know your phone habits aren't great. You've tried screen time limits. They didn't stick. You want someone to sit down with you and actually fix it.
Families
You want healthy tech habits for your kids, but you're not sure where to start — especially when your own habits aren't where you want them to be. No shame. That's most people.
Why an IT Guy?
I spend my days building technology and helping businesses use it. I know how these systems work from the inside — the design patterns, the engagement hooks, the notification triggers. I also know what actually works to counter them, because I've tested it on myself and my clients.
This isn't wellness influencer advice. It's practical changes from someone who understands the technology, respects what it can do, and knows when it's doing too much.
I'm not anti-technology. I'm pro-intentional.
