That’s not a willpower failure. It’s a design that works exactly as intended — and it’s interruptible, starting today.
Stop Checking Your Phone is a toolkit of 30 specific, practical screen-time shortcuts, built for the exact moments the habit actually takes over: the automatic reach for it, the phantom buzz that wasn’t real, mealtimes, bedtime, meetings, and the in-between moments where boredom used to live.
Each shortcut takes minutes to learn and seconds to use. You’ll learn how to:
•Map your specific phone-check triggers, so you can interrupt the pattern instead of fighting willpower blind
•Add just enough friction to break the automatic reach, without locking the phone away entirely
•Redesign your notifications and home screen so the phone stops volunteering your attention
•Reclaim mealtimes, bedtime, and waiting-in-line moments without white-knuckling it
•Build a screen-time routine that survives past the first week, including how to recover cleanly from a slip-up
This isn’t a digital-minimalism manifesto, and it won’t ask you to delete social media or trade your smartphone for a flip phone — no honest book about modern life would, and this one doesn’t try. What it will do is hand you thirty specific, usable tools, each with a real-world example, a try-it-now exercise, the one mistake that quietly undoes it, and a one-line version you can actually remember. A short “Note on the Evidence” is upfront about which mechanisms are well-established behavioral science and which are reasonable, practical extrapolations.
You don’t need to read this cover to cover. Jump straight to the section that solves today’s problem, or use the built-in “Which Shortcut Right Now?” quick-start guide to find the right tool in seconds. The book closes with a 7-Day Reset Plan and a printable screen-time log, so you leave with a system, not just a list.
If you’ve ever said “I don’t even remember opening this app” — you’re not undisciplined. You’re responding exactly the way the app was built for you to respond. Start with shortcut #1.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
