If you’re like many adults, it was the day before you bought your first iPhone. And since then, almost 15 years later, its presence has become so normal that it’s almost impossible to imagine that you ever lived without it.
In this free Phone Detox Program brought to you by Carpe More Diem, you will get to press the reset button by disconnecting from your device. Not forever, but just long enough to come back to it with a renewed perspective and healthier balance for years to come.
This is why we created the Phone Detox Program.This free course is your introduction to the digital minimalist lifestyle. It’s for those of us who are ready for change, who want to reclaim control of our time, our habits, and our lives so that we can make the most out of our time on this Earth.
IT ALL STARTS BY TURNING IT OFF
Over the course of 7 days, I will provide you with everything you need to have a truly transformative phone detox experience, so you can reset your relationship with the supercomputer in your pocket, boost your productivity, creativity and love for life.
Each day in the program will offer you perspective, a helpful tool and a task to complete. You will be challenged to take a new action every day that will prepare you for taking your 24-hour phone detox: That means one full-day completely off your phone, fully in the real world. As your guide, I'll be with you every step of the way.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- Each day you will get an email from me that offers perspective and a helpful tool.

Our phones give us access to the infinite possibilities of the internet and the world around us. But they also hook us in, attach us to the potential rewards and stimulation that are always a swipe away. It’s only by stepping away that we can experience the freedom of presence and detachment that comes by being fully present in the real world.
Our always-on lives and overpacked calendars can leave us feeling scattered, overwhelmed and with so much unfinished business that it’s unclear what to do next. Ironically, it’s when you finally step back, slow down and turn off all the inputs for a while that we rediscover clarity, and can come back to our daily lives more motivated, focused and clear on when to say “yes,” and when to let go.
Our brains are not designed for constant stimulation, which activates our fight-flight response, or our stress response. We’re just not wired to be available to the rest of the world 24/7. The variety of inputs, from messaging apps, to email, to news, and every notification in between not only leaves dozens (if not hundreds) of tabs open on our screens, but also in our brains. By taking some time away we find what we were seeking all along, a sense of peace, calm and presence.

I’ve struggled with stepping away from my phone for hours at a time. Silent Pocket made it easy to have a physical barrier to prevent me from picking up my phone.
