Busy and reactive? Struggling to focus? Craving time for relationships?

If so, perhaps it's time to make space in your world for the things that really matter.

What if you could be productive and rested by living an ordered, rhythmical life? What if habitually unplugging from digital technology was not simply a means of surviving week by week but a strategy to produce your best work and live your best life?

Written for busy professionals who spend a lot of time online, this thoroughly researched book will help you shift your paradigms, reorientate your principles, and transform your tech- and non-tech practices for life.

Spacemaker will help you:

- Discover why your productivity suffers when you overuse digital technology.

- Explore timeless principles to make space in the distraction of digital life.

- Implement a series of practices to think deeply, rest fully and spend more time with loved ones away from a screen.
