Honest writing on screen time, doomscrolling, walking, and habits that stick — from the developer of WalkFirst.
Every post answers a question people genuinely ask. When a claim needs research behind it, I point to the research. WalkFirst comes up only where it honestly helps.
Screen Time, Downtime, deletion, and third-party blockers — ranked by how hard each is to bypass.
Motivation fades. Redesigning what your habits cost is what lasts.
Forget the 5am club. Water, light, movement — any order, any hour, done by anyone.
The first input of the day sets the day's tone. Three tiers of fix, from gentle to bulletproof.
Longevity, weight, mood, or just starting out — the right step goal is different for each.
Why willpower keeps losing to the feed — and the friction-based fix that actually holds.
No 5am club, no two-hour routines — a structure built around movement, light, and a phone that knows its place.
There's no magic number of hours. Three questions that matter more than any average.
The realistic benefits of a daily walk — mood, sleep, blood pressure, creativity — without the hype.
10,000 steps started as pedometer marketing, not medicine. What the research really shows.
Why I built an app that blocks Instagram until you've walked enough — fully on-device.
New posts, app launches, and lessons from building solo — straight to your feed reader.
