What’s inside
A reset you can actually use.
Read the six parts in order the first time. After that, come back to the check-ins and settings that fit what you are noticing that week.
Notice the pattern
Start with a self-scored check-in and spot what your feed brings up before you change a setting.
Reset what you see
Work through a practical 72-hour reset, then retrain your feed around what you actually want in it.
Make it stick
Use boundaries, weekly check-ins, bonus challenges, and an Instagram settings reference after the first read.
After checkout
Your copy, your way.
Download the print-ready PDF or the HTML copy with fields you can type into. The PDF is also sent to the email you use at checkout, so you have another copy to keep.
Do I need to delete social media?
No. The workbook is built for the apps you are actually going to keep using.
Is this therapy?
No. This is an educational guide and self-reflection tool, not therapy, diagnosis, or treatment.
What if I need more support?
You can contact Donnie or book a free consult.
