FAQ
Why buy this when the practices are free on Instagram?
Because the feed is exactly where the problem lives. The book sits on the table, not in the feed. You can't doomscroll a paperback. You open it, the page is already there, you do the small thing, you close it. The object does part of the work by keeping the practice somewhere your phone can't reach. If pulling them one by one off Instagram was going to happen, it mostly would have by now.
Some of these practices look almost too simple to matter. Are they?
The simple ones are the ones that work. When something feels slightly absurd, your usual autopilot trips for a second, and that small pause is where the noticing happens. If they looked impressive, they wouldn't do anything.
I've tried things like this before and didn't stick with them. Why would this be different?
You've probably saved ten things like this and opened none of them, and that's fair. The difference here is small and it's the whole thing: the deciding was doing most of the work before, and the page already has the thing for today. You don't have to choose it, set it up, or talk yourself into it. You just open it and do the one small thing. Low enough that sticking isn't really the ask.
How is this different from the eBook?
The ebook is the digital version, the same practices on your phone. The book is the same practices on paper, off the screen.
That's the whole difference, and for some people it's the entire point. The thing you're trying to step back from is the screen, so a version that lives in the screen is working against itself a little. The book sits on the table. You don't need both. Pick the one that matches how you actually want to do this.
Is this another self-improvement book?
Not really. Most of those are about becoming a better version of you. This is about getting back in contact with the version that's already there. Different aim, different voice. Nobody in here is trying to optimize you.
Will this fix the "off" feeling?
Probably not on its own, and anyone promising that is selling you something. It won't change your life. The practices might change a day, and then the next one. That's the most anyone who's used it has said, and it's the most I'd claim. People don't message me to say it fixed everything. They say the morning felt quieter, or they noticed something they'd been walking past for months.
I don't know where to start, and I'm worried I'll do it wrong.
There's no wrong way to do it, and that worry is the exact thing this is built to take off your plate. You don't pick, plan, or design anything. You open it, the page already has the one thing for today, you do the small thing, you close it. Start on page one or open it anywhere. Both are right. The deciding is the part that usually stops people, so the deciding is the part that's already done.
What do I get?
One paperback. 200 practices, one per page, in no particular order you have to follow. Each page has the practice, a short note on why it works, and three quiet questions to come back to if you feel like it: what did you notice, what did you feel, anything else. Free shipping is included in the price.
It's an honest object. A matte A5 paperback, not a leather journal or a boxed kit. What you're paying for is the thing itself and the fact that it lives off your phone.
Is this a physical book?
Yes. It's a printed paperback, matte cover, A5 size. The same 200 practices that have been running on Instagram every day, all in one place, on paper instead of a screen.
