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."
Tristan Harris, Center for Humane Technology

How I Can Help

Three ways to work together, depending on where you are and what you need.

📋

Digital Wellness Audit

Businesses

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 tech etiquette agreement (built together)

My Approach

I don't tell you to throw your phone away. I help you use it on your terms.

1

Understand Your Habits

We look at real data — screen time, app usage, notification patterns. No judgment. Just an honest picture of where your time and attention go.

2

Change the Environment

Willpower doesn't work against systems designed to beat it. We change settings, layouts, and defaults so the path of least resistance is the healthy one.

3

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.

4

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.

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.
