"You can’t live without your smartphone"
"You can’t possibly live, communicate, connect, be part of society, work, be ambitious, successful, travel, stay up to date and navigate your way through life without a smartphone!?"
These are the loud thoughts that kept ringing in my head as I was thinking of taking on a simple challenge; live a full life, for one-year, without a smartphone.
With 10 years experience in the world of communication and branding I was aware that when a message is this loud, up to the point that you can barely hear yourself think, there is always an agenda and money to be made.
Being a rebel at heart...
I decided to do it. To shock my senses, break the daily online loop I kept finding myself in and in one swoop - bring my shocking 6-8 hours of daily screen time down to zero. Living abroad, freshly emigrated during Covid and with my two babies staring at me with twinkling eyes, I inserted the tiny nano sim into my brand new oldskool Nokia and off I went. Goodbye smartphone, hello new way of living.
Fast Forward to now, one year later
What started out as a personal experiment quickly turned into a personal mission, and now forms the foundation of an entrepreneurial venture. I have since created 'OutSmart Your Phone', a workshop, in which I teach both professionals AND teenagers how to live a full and fulfilling life without their smartphone at the center. Consider this workshop the brain-update your phone will never offer.
We all know life with a smartphone.
Any idea what life without one feels like?
Hi!
How cool you found me! As when it comes to the online world I only ‘live’ in two spaces. Right here and on LinkedIn.
Get ready for my real, raw and most mind blowing observations of my new way of living. Like,
- How I solved the practical bumps in the road when getting rid of a device the world just expects you to have;
- All the benefits I am experiencing, both the once I expected and the ones I didn't;
- I share anecdotes of funny situations I run into, in shops, airports and on the streets;
- And my personal favorite: geeking out on the science behind smartphone addiction (why is no one talking about this?).
If you run a company, organisation or manage a team, make sure you also check out the 'OutSmart Your Phone' workshop. Offering your people (and yourself) this in-person workshop is the greatest gift you could give. It will positively impact literally every aspect of life (and therefore your organisation).
Think
- higher quality of sleep,
- more intent, intuition, energy and focus,
- an increase in creativity and productivity,
- and improved relationships and mood.
Both at home and at work. Which these days is all blended into one anyway 😉
Sounds good? Let's talk!
Let's talk!
I am looking forward to connecting.
Please answer a few questions and I will get back to you within 2 days.

When did we collectively start turning off the sound on our phones? I remember back in the day, being on a train or in any public space, hearing all kinds of bleeps, ringing and tunes. At some point people even started choosing custom ringtones for important contacts. ‘Mom’ had her own recognizable ringtone or song
Have you ever taken a moment to just look at your phone? Have a little moment with it without immediately giving in to the urge to turn it on? And when you did lock eyes, have you ever wondered what that thing that you use to communicate with the world is trying to tell you?
A lot of creatives say that when they are on an airplane – where you are required to turn your phone, socials and inboxes offline – they produce their best work. Right there in the clouds. Yes, for some it takes being in the clouds, feet off the ground and no chance to get a
