Chris Williams is a writer, researcher, and coach specializing in attention management and digital wellness. His work focuses on helping individuals and organizations reclaim focus in an age of constant distraction, drawing on cognitive science, habit research, and practical minimalism.
Over the past decade, Chris has worked with tech professionals, educators, and corporate teams to design healthier relationships with technology. He has led digital declutter workshops at companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 firms and has been featured in publications covering productivity, mental health, and intentional living. His approach emphasizes sustainable habit change over quick fixes, environmental design over willpower, and depth over busyness.
Before focusing on digital wellness, Chris spent eight years as a product designer in the technology industry. This insider perspective gives him a unique understanding of how digital platforms are engineered to capture and hold attention, and he uses that knowledge to help people build defenses against the very systems he once helped build. He does not advocate for rejecting technology. He advocates for using it on your own terms.
Chris offers coaching programs, speaking engagements, and online courses for individuals and organizations. He also writes a weekly newsletter on focus and intentional living that reaches readers in more than forty countries. He lives in Portland, Oregon, with his family, where he practices what he teaches: limited screen time, long walks, deep reading, and the occasional intentional afternoon with no agenda at all.
