**Your phone is not the enemy.** The problem is that every app you own was designed to interrupt you — and nobody ever handed you the authority to push back. This blueprint hands you that authority in seven days. No detox. No deleted apps. No going off-grid. You sit down once, decide exactly who is allowed to reach you and when, and then tell the people around you the truth about it. **WHAT THIS IS.** A 7-day, step-by-step reset: audit every notification, sort all of it into three buckets, rebuild your settings from scratch, and put clear agreements in place with your manager, your team and your household. Plan on 20 to 40 focused minutes a day. The claim on the cover is the honest one: people following the daily work tend to win back 60 to 90 minutes of real focus a day — not from heroics, but from no longer paying a tax on every ping. **WHAT THIS IS NOT.** It is not a digital detox. Detoxes ask you to leave the modern world, enjoy the quiet, then return to identical settings and the same relapse rate. This is an edit of your everyday defaults, done once, in place. It is also not anti-technology: you keep every app that earns its place. **WHO IT'S FOR** ► Knowledge workers protecting long stretches of thinking time ► Students juggling coursework and group chats ► Remote workers whose home and office melted into one screen ► Parents sharing devices in a busy house ► Anyone whose brain chases every buzz, including people with ADHD or executive-function challenges ► Teams drowning in "quick questions" that are never quick **Not for** anyone looking for a retreat, a new productivity app, or treatment. There are no apps to learn and no scores to keep. **WHAT'S INSIDE** ► **The Digital Boundaries Blueprint ebook** — 36 pages, 7 chapters, from the attention economics you were never taught to a weekly ritual that keeps the system alive. Includes a 60-second self-assessment, the three questions that settle every grey-area notification, four focus-mode recipes, do-not-disturb schedules, a status-message library and word-for-word contract scripts for work, home and clients. PDF + HTML. ► **The Audit & Focus Tracker** — a 7-tab spreadsheet: Start Here, 7-Day Audit, Triage Matrix, Focus Plan, Contracts, Weekly Reset, Dashboard. ► **Printable Checklists** — 6 pages: the Evening Audit Log, the 30-Minute Settings Session, the Triage Worksheet, the Contract Conversations, the Focus-Mode Recipe Cards, and the Weekly + Monthly Reset. ► **Three audio walkthroughs** — Start Here (how the reset works), The Audit Walkthrough, and The Triage Session. Play them at the exact step you are on. **HOW THE WEEK GOES.** Day 1 you open the tracker and run a 60-second self-assessment. Days 2 and 3 you run the notification audit. Days 4 and 5 you triage and write your contracts. Days 6 and 7 you build your focus modes and set your weekly reset. Then the reset runs itself in about 20 minutes a week. **STRAIGHT ANSWERS** **How much time does it take?** 20 to 40 minutes a day for one week, then a weekly reset of about 20 minutes. **What format is everything in?** Ebook as PDF and HTML; tracker as XLSX; checklists as a 6-page PDF; audio as MP3. **Do I have to delete my apps?** No. You edit their permissions and your defaults. **Is this therapy?** No. It is a self-guided education and planning tool, not therapy or medical advice. If you are struggling, consider talking to a qualified professional. **What if it is not for me?** Message me within 30 days and you will get your money back. **Not what you expected?** Ask within 30 days and you will get your money back.
