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.”

Thanks to Netgalley for fulfilling a wish request on this one - although I regret it now. This book drops on May 17th.
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.

A gentle, judgement-free workbook for digital minimalism! Log Off guides you through an honest and safe evaluation of the role that social media plays in your life. It’s especially useful right now, when being *too online* exposes you to a deluge of tragedy and dehumanizing politics. You don’t have to log off entirely to take back control of how you engage with the internet.

Probably just not aimed at me. I'm thinking it could be helpful for someone in their early 20s.

3,5 ⭐️
- again, not my usual genre but it was a great and interesting book to read. i feel like it was relevant to me because i have been trying to reduce my time on social media the last few weeks, but it’s not as easy as i though it would be so this book sounded great (which it was)
- it was not exactly what I expected but I did like it nonetheless
- there is a lot of questions and quizzes, + challenge and tracking your use of social media which was unexpected but will be useful to anyone who wants to use their phones less
- great advices, some of them i will use myself
- i’m trying to be more careful of my screen time so if that is something you find difficult doing i’m sure this book would be quite helpful 🥰
- the book itself is helpful, easy and organized. the chapters are colorful, fun and easy
- i definitely want to continue to track and do the 14 day challenge!!!

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.

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, and maybe even longer in its size overall.
Thanks to NetGalley for this copy!

Great short read targeted at young adults looking to unplug. Really loved the comic style and workbook aspect of it! Definitely recommend a physical copy. Share this book with a teen in your life!

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.
