About this ebook
This book is different, on purpose. Your phone stays on. Nothing here asks you to delete an app you need, quit a platform that keeps you close to someone far away, or treat needing your phone for work as a personal failing.
Built around the Off-Ramp Method — five stages, twelve chapters, one clear system instead of forty scattered tips — this book shows you how to audit your real usage without shame, trim the invisible triggers pulling your attention, build two-minute anchors that actually compete with the scroll, and guard the three windows of your day that matter most: work, family, and sleep. Dedicated chapters address readers whose job requires constant reachability and readers with ADHD or other neurodivergence, because most advice in this category was never built with either group in mind.
Every technique is grounded in real, cited research — not vague willpower. And when a bad week happens (it will), Chapter Twelve shows you how to restart without shame instead of starting over from scratch.
The phone stays. What changes is you.

About the author
romi writes self-help books for people who are tired of advice that assumes a life they don't have. Every book starts the same way: reading through hundreds of real reader reviews of the most popular titles in a given category, finding the specific, recurring places those books let readers down, and building something that answers those complaints directly instead of repeating them. The result is nonfiction that's shorter than most of what's on the shelf, grounded in real cited research rather than vague inspiration, and written for readers whose jobs, bodies, brains, and budgets don't match the assumptions baked into a lot of mainstream self-help. romi's other titles include The Sensitive Edge, Stop Overthinking Everything, Boundaries That Actually Stick, Habits That Don't Need Motivation, and The First Ten Minutes.
