Offline Hours: Screen Time & Phone Reset Guide

Offline Hours is a practical PDF guide for anyone who wants to use their phone more intentionally, reduce mindless scrolling, protect focus, and create more phone-free time without giving up technology completely.

This guide is not about deleting every app, blaming yourself, or becoming anti-technology. Instead, it helps you understand how phone habits form, how the attention economy is designed to keep you engaged, and how to redesign your phone, routines, notifications, and daily environment so your attention is less reactive and more intentional.

• Phone use at work and professional availability pressure
• How to use your phone more intentionally while travelling
• A structured 30-day phone reset plan
