Reviews

This was focused, intentionally built on itself, and actionable. Already I feel the difference. And I love your website too! Thank you!

Fantastic, short course to help you begin breaking screen addiction

Highly recommend. Definitely one of the most instantly rewarding and satisfying courses I’ve done on IT. I was able to implement the suggestions and shift my life within one day and maintain that so far. Thank you!

I was referred to this course by Barbara Faison another teacher on inside and I am calling to follow the messages gleaned here. I needed to listen to one of the days a couple of times to get the clarification for the three hour rule . I especially enjoyed Cyrus’s audio messages in response to my comments . I highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to successfully minimize their time on screens and phone

Cyrus has structered a course of action that is doable. I commit to the level that I am able to do at this time. And look forward to retrieving many of my waking hours to being free of screens. Yes I am still a (screen) addict. But I have a way now to truly manage all those unnecessary tech temptations.

I feel deeply grateful for you offering this course. Despite my inherent dislike of smartphones I have recently got myself so stuck in phone over-use and my whole body was telling me to stop. This course came up in my suggestions and it has been amazing. Thank you so much for this clear system which has allowed me to break free over the four days. I have done this along with your letting go exercises and i am halfway through the Hawkins book you recommend. I really think now that i was using the phone partly as one method of avoiding feeling suppressed emotions. I commit to taking this screen free 3 hour window method forward along with looking more at the whole letting go thing. You have a wonderful reassuring and clear communication style which i found motivating and holding. I will be listening again. Thank you.

This course was amazing! The instructor was interactive and assisted with any implementation trouble shooting in real salient ways. The steps were clear and easy to follow and adaptation to your needs and lifestyle were encouraged , which make it easier going forward to implement. Easily one of the best courses I’ve taken here. I’ll be redoing some of the sessions for more clarity as I embark on this journey back to life, back to reality. Thank you.

Thank you Cyrus! I will use this plan DAILY to keep the 3hr (or more!) rule going. It may be easier for me to let go of my phone because of my age…I haven’t grown up w a phone attached to me, so it feels ok to let it go. I have an addictive personality and have overcome cigarette, food and hard drug addictions so I do have confidence that I can stick to this program. Thank you so much for making such a clear plan to help me regain precious time!

Such a practical approach to a huge problem faced by millions these days. If you're tired of your phone addiction this course may help you get ready to change.

I loved the course. He gave very clear and precise information. I also loved hearing the feedback on my comments.

This was so good. I have wanted to reclaim my time and focus — and this is honestly the first tool that has helped me start to make that happen! Thank you so much. I’m excited and very grateful!

An excellent and effective course! Thank you so much 🙏🏼

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars! Cyrus is a great teacher, and he provides practical and effective teachings in a succinct manner. In just a few minutes a day over the course of five days, I’ve drastically reduced my phone use from 3-4+ hours per day to well under 1 hour a day thanks to these teachings. The tools and techniques are straightforward and easy to implement, and you can also modify them to meet your own needs. Cyrus is in the classroom frequently, providing encouraging, detailed replies to students questions and comments. If you’re looking to change your relationship with your phone or other devices, I highly recommend this course! Thank you Cyrus for an excellent class!

This is such an important topic and I really appreciate the way Cyrus approaches it. While it will take more than 5 days for me to shift the habit and frankly, the addiction to my phone, I'm on solid ground with these guidelines. I encourage anyone to take this course. I was super impressed that Cyrus replied to every post thoughtfully and made added suggestions specifical to my comments. I finished this course grateful and determined.

Much needed and well-designed course. Also worth noting that the instructor is wonderful and very interactive and encouraging in the classroom chats. This was a nice surprise. 10/10 recommend for getting on track to cure smartphone addiction!

This course is transformative. I'm not wasting my life doom scrolling anymore. Thank you!!!!

Definitely needed this course and the Universe provided. I already feel like I’m living MY life more present and fully without all of the silly habitual phone use. Looking forward to my first week of commitment.

This is an amazingly helpful course and it worked just great for me. As a five-day course it makes it easy to “just give it a try”. It provides practical tips and a good structure, which I always appreciate. This structure made it easy to implement the advice. What I found especially helpful was the personal feedback from Cyrus, the teacher, who always responded to comments and provided individual tips and support. Thank you 🌸🙏🌸

Thank you for this course. It really helps me to be more focused when I committ to the 3hr rule🙏🏻✨️

I found this course really beneficial! I have dramatically reduced my use of screens and social media in the past 5 days, and I already feel a significant benefit in my focus and level of presence. It's amazing how something as simple as an online challenge can change the momentum of my screen use, which I felt so consumed by before this course. I know my relationship with screens ebbs and flows, so I will definitely be revisiting this course each time I need an infusion of inspiration to keep the commitment of limiting screens and making sure my use is intentional.
