Offers interesting strategies for spending less time online and dealing with phone addiction. Probably something everyone could find of value these days.

Easy read, but I didn’t learn anything I didn’t already know. Quite a basic book.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC for an exchange for an honest review.

Very good book, I enjoyed reading it.

Intentions were good but I found it a little basic. There are more motivating books out there about decreasing tech use.

I received a complimentary copy and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Log off is a short and interactive read that will make you check your phone usage and it's okay if you realise that you have a phone addiction. The book does a good job of making you realise that you have a phone addiction and ways you can actually work through it.

Okay, this did nothing for me except waste my time. But rating a book like this is tricky simply because of the fact self-help's so personal.

Let me start clinically with basics. I didn't see mention when I requested it of this being more a workbook, so anyone who uses it earnestly is probably going to want a physical copy. There are quizzes and questionnaires and guides that, apart from being a nightmare when viewing on Kindle format, kind of beg to be circled with pen or written on.

Actual advice sections had a weird, snobby tone to them at times, and also assume a lot. There's a section that recommended apps that'll likely become redundant and dated, too.


And yeah, lastly I do a lot of the key takeaways already. Strategically group your apps for use. Log off if things feel bad or the vibes are off. Block time for social media usage - I'm never on twitter, my biggest consumption of social media, past workday hours or on weekends since I use it so much at a dull desk job. A lot of this seems very common-sense, and this all adds up to a book much shorter and shallower than I expected.

The graphics and the cover are cute and bright, at least what was formatted well enough to see. I guess this would be helpful for someone out there who's maybe less strategic with time management or has poor impulse control.

This was a very short and fast read! A very practical guide on how to minimize digital presence in one's life. Also includes illustrations. However, I would have wanted it to be also more educating, perhaps with more facts and descriptions.

Thanks to NetGalley for this copy!

A short and punchy book that I will probably marker towards the older teen/young adult market as opposed to middle age addicts who are looking for more substantial reading about digital detox.

A helpful workbook for spending less time online to improve your mental health! I love Sammy Nickalls's work and #talkingaboutit.

The line I’m going to (try to) focus on:

“Pay attention to how you feel when you’re on social media, and when you notice that you’re feeling bad, log off.”

I actually really, really enjoyed this book. It had a funny twist on how to really change your relationship with not only social media, but your phone. I know I've personally struggled with finding my screen time way too high, and know my students have expressed this as well. It's easy to fall into a pattern of using your phone more than is necessary without realizing the impact it has on you. This book not only gives you tools and apps (funny, I know) to help with this, but pages to take advantage of to monitor your moods and show yourself how going without social media and your phone can drastically improve your day to day life, as well as your long term goals.

This book is a nice, easy, workbook-style way to decrease your phone addiction. It quotes from places such as Cal Newport’s Digital Minimalism, and if you hadn’t read that book, this is a fine one to pick up.
Bite-sized information followed by quizzes, long answer prompts, and such. It also has fun comic-style art throughout the book.

If you’re already familiar with Cal Newport or similar books, or if you want a deeper dive into the subject you can give this one a pass. But as a first step on your road to becoming a digital minimalist, it’s good!

Thanks to NetGalley for providing the advance copy for review.
