Tame The Glowing Rock (Phone Redesign)

Tame the Glowing Rock

A practical phone-redesign guide for reclaiming your attention

Your phone is useful. It is also very good at making itself impossible to ignore.

Tame the Glowing Rock is a practical, step-by-step guide to redesigning your phone so it serves you—without demanding that you abandon technology, delete everything or rely on endless willpower.

Guided by Grog’s blunt prehistoric wisdom, you’ll reduce unnecessary interruptions, make distracting apps harder to reach and keep genuinely useful tools close at hand.

What you’ll learn

Inside this 26-page guide, you’ll discover how to:

• measure your current screen time, notifications and phone-checking habits;

• complete a practical notification purge;

• redesign a cluttered home screen into a calm, useful tool tray;

• add friction between yourself and compulsive apps;

• decide where your phone should—and should not—live;

• create separate Morning, Focus and Evening modes;

• choose between Gentle, Firm and Stone Age redesign levels;

• preserve access for genuine emergencies;

• compare your before-and-after results;

• complete an express phone redesign in just 30 minutes.

The guide also includes practical notes for modern iPhone and Android devices. Because phone software changes frequently, the focus remains on lasting behavioural principles rather than instructions that become outdated with the next update.

This guide is for you if…

• you unlock your phone without remembering why;

• notifications constantly break your concentration;

• distracting apps are always one effortless tap away;

• your phone follows you into bed, meals and focused work;

• blockers and screen-time limits have not created lasting change;

• you want more control without attempting an unrealistic total digital detox.

Three levels of redesign

Choose the version that suits your life:

• Gentle: reduce noise and tidy the phone without major disruption.

• Firm: remove the strongest temptations and introduce meaningful friction.

• Stone Age: retain essential phone tools while eliminating most attention traps.

You decide how far to go. The goal is not to create the most restricted phone—it is to create the phone that best protects the life you want to live.
