The Big Idea

A 30-day reset that helps teams reduce digital overload and rebuild focus without banning tech or adding yet another platform or app to manage.

30 Days of Less Tech is a structured 30-day intervention for cognitive overload that restores focus, reduces burnout, and helps people work with technology more intentionally.

When your people are exhausted and overwhelmed, it rarely looks like “laziness.” It looks like meeting fatigue, constant context switching, and the nagging sense that everyone is busy… but the work that matters keeps slipping.

This is a structured, low-lift team program that restores attention, improves meeting quality, and helps your team protect deep work in a world designed to interrupt them.

Let’s talk!

A guided 30-day program for teams, departments, and cohorts

Includes: 90-min kickoff + workbook + weekly touchpoints + 90-min integration/closing

The modern workplace problem nobody can “willpower” their way out of

30 Days of Less Tech gives you a workplace-ready attention program that changes behavior at the team level where work actually happens.

Teams are doing real work inside a system that constantly fractures attention:

Meetings where people are physically present but cognitively elsewhere
Slack/Teams/email creating an always-on response expectation
Micro-distractions that quietly multiply into lost time, rework, and slower decisions
Burnout signals rising even among high performers
Creativity and initiative shrinking because there’s no uninterrupted space to think

Most organizations respond by adding tools, trackers, and productivity hacks. But overload isn’t a tool problem. It’s a habit + norms + environment problem.

Let’s talk!

Who is this for?

This program is a strong fit for:

Teams seeing overload show up as disengagement, fatigue, or increasing conflict
Cohorts focused on sustainable performance, attention, and modern work skills
Wellness departments addressing burnout signals and recovery habits
Managers who want better meetings and deeper work, not just “more output”

It’s especially useful for teams who:

communicate constantly
live in meetings
are expected to respond quickly
do complex, creative, or strategic work that requires sustained attention

What’s included

30-Day format

1) 90-minute Live Kickoff

We start with a reality-based baseline:

Pre-work Attention audit (where time and focus are leaking)
Team habit map (what triggers distraction loops)
Choose 2-3 “friction fixes” that match your culture and workflows
(meetings, messaging norms, focus blocks, notification boundaries)

2) The Workbook

Participants get a practical daily workbook with:

simple experiments that fit work days and private life
lightweight tracking (no shame, no perfectionism)

3) Support Touchpoints

Designed to keep momentum without creating new meetings:

Monday/Wednesday/Friday email prompt (this can be offered as an opt-in for participants)
midway live 60-minute AMA (ask me anything)

4) 90-minute Live Integration

During the closing, we lock in what worked:

what changed, what stuck
agreements your team keeps going forward
a “relapse plan” for busy seasons and crunch times

What this is not

Let’s make this easy to evaluate:

Not anti-tech
Not “ban your phone”
Not another platform
Not a shame-based productivity program
Not a one-off inspiration session that disappears by Monday

This is a behavior-change container with a beginning, middle, and end, built for real workplace constraints.

Even small improvements create a meaningful return because distraction costs compound. Here’s a conservative way to think about it:

If 40 participants recover just 15 minutes a day of focused work time over the month, the program easily pays for itself, before you even count reduced rework, better decisions, or meeting improvements.

Pricing depends on the cohort size; we’ll calculate the ROI during our call. We’ll plug in:

your team size
your loaded hourly cost
your communication environment (Slack/Teams/email norms)
…and calculate a conservative ROI estimate together.

The simplest ROI

Bring this to your team!

What changes in 30 days?

This isn’t a “digital detox retreat.” It’s a workplace-appropriate reset designed for real teams with real workloads. Over the 30 days, teams build:

🎯 Stronger focus habits

Less reactive checking. More intentional attention. Better follow-through.

🎯 Better meeting quality

Clearer norms, fewer unnecessary pings, and improved decision capture.

🎯 Healthier communication boundaries

Shared expectations around response time, notifications, and “urgent vs. important.”

🎯 More deep work time

Protected focus blocks that make complex work possible again.

And because this is built as a structured container (not a motivational talk), the changes are easier to sustain.

Let’s talk to see if this is a good fit for your team
