Your phone has trained your brain to reach for it in every gap — before breakfast, during bath time, after bedtime. It’s not just a character flaw. It’s a pattern the flesh runs on autopilot — and the pattern is winning.
You’ve tried putting it in a drawer. You’ve tried screen time apps. You’ve told yourself “starting Monday” more times than you can count. None of it stuck because none of it replaced what your brain was reaching for.
Here’s what the research says about parents and phones:
That’s how much time the average adult spends on their phone each year. Over two months — not working, not sleeping. Scrolling.

Not too much at work. Not too much on the weekend. Too much when their kids are right there in the room.
Pew Research Center, 2024
More than half of adults say they spend too much time on their phone — and can’t stop on their own.

About a third of parents wish they had waited longer before giving their child a phone. But the bigger question is: what about yours?

That’s over 2 months — not working, not sleeping. Scrolling through things you won’t remember, while your family is in the next room.
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
Psalm 90:12They tell you to put the phone down. None of them tell you what to pick up instead. That’s the gap — and it’s why you keep going back.
Every other program takes away your phone and hopes for the best. You get bored. You go back. We don’t just help you stop scrolling — we tell you exactly what to do instead, even when the flesh is weak.
When you already know what to pick up, you don’t need an app to put it down.
No credit card. Day 1 takes 5 minutes.
Jose is a father of four and a follower of Jesus Christ. A few years ago, he was averaging over six hours of daily screen time. He didn’t notice it — or rather, he noticed it the way you notice a slow leak. By the time it was obvious, the damage was already done.
The moment that broke it: his youngest asked him a question at the kitchen table — something small, something about school — and he answered without looking up from his phone. His wife said, quietly: “She was talking to you.”
That night he checked his screen time. 6 hours and 41 minutes. He did the math: 102 full days per year. Over three months of his life, every year, handed to a screen while his four kids were growing up in the next room.
He tried everything. App blockers. Digital detoxes. Grayscale mode. Cold turkey. Every method either lasted two days or treated the symptom without touching the cause. So he built his own system — led by faith, grounded in how the brain actually works. Not restriction, but replacement. Within 12 weeks, his screen time was under two hours. More importantly, his kids started running to the door when he got home again.
That system became Present Over Pixels. Jose poured months of late nights into building it — after his four kids were in bed, on weekends when he could have been resting. He sacrificed family time to build something that gives family time back.
When it was done, he wanted to give the whole thing away for free. But the research told him something he didn’t want to hear: when people get something for free, they don’t do the work. Completion rates collapse. People sign up, skim Day 1, and never come back. That’s the only reason the full program has a price — not because Jose cares about the money, but because he cares whether you actually finish.
The first two weeks are free. The 5-Day Challenge shows you the problem, and Transformation Week lets you practice the solution. The full program has a price because it only works if you show up every week.
“I didn’t need less screen time. I needed something in the way — between the trigger and the scroll.”
— Jose, founder of Present Over Pixels
Imagine a Tuesday night, five days from now. Dinner’s cleared. Your phone is on the counter — and for the first time in months, you know exactly how much time it’s been taking from you. Your kid is telling you something about a friend at school and you’re actually listening. Not waiting for them to finish. Not half-somewhere-else. Just… there. That’s what Day 5 feels like. And it starts with Day 1.
Five days. Five tasks. Each one takes minutes. Together, they show you where the hours are going — and give you your first replacement.
Check your actual screen time. Calculate how many full days per year it’s costing your family. Let that number land.
Get your 3 daily prayers ready — a Morning Surrender before you touch your phone, a Trigger Prayer for the moments you want to scroll, and an Evening Thank for what you noticed because you were present.
Use the Activity Lattice to pre-decide exactly what you’ll do instead of scrolling — for every trigger, every time of day. 36 replacements, locked and loaded.
Write your “Present Parent” statement — who you want to be when you put the phone down. Make it personal. Say it out loud.

Includes the free Activity Lattice — 36 trigger-replacement pairs organized by the moments your phone wins most.
Completely. No credit card, no trial that auto-charges. You get all 5 days plus the free Activity Lattice (36 replacement activities). Submit your proof at the end of Week 1 and you’ll activate your Transformation Week — a full second week, also free. Week 2 is your Final Free Phase. If it’s not for you, close the emails. Everything you received is yours to keep. Week 3 is the first paid week of the full program.
Day 1 takes about 5 minutes — you check your screen time number and see what it’s really costing you. Days 2 through 5 range from 5 to 15 minutes each. The longest is Day 3, where you fill out your Activity Lattice — 36 replacement ideas for every trigger moment. Most parents finish in about 15 minutes. If you have time to scroll tonight, you have time for Day 1.
It’s a free tool with 36 trigger-replacement pairs, organized by when the urge hits — morning, commute, work, evening, stress, and weekends. For each trigger, you pre-decide what you’ll do instead. You’ll build yours on Day 3 — and it works together with the Trigger Prayer you set up on Day 2. The prayer is your power. The Lattice is your plan. It’s yours to keep whether you do anything else or not.
Yes. Jose built Present Over Pixels as a Christian father — the program is grounded in Scripture and the biblical framework of sanctification: putting off the old self, renewing the mind, and walking by the Spirit. On Day 2 you’ll set up three daily prayers — a Morning Surrender, a Trigger Prayer, and an Evening Thank — that become the spiritual backbone of every week. The practical tools work because they align with how God designed us. You don’t need a theology degree to follow the program, but the faith isn’t decoration — it’s the foundation.
No. Day 1 doesn’t ask you to put your phone down at all. It asks you to look at your screen time number and see what it’s costing you. That’s it. This is not a digital detox — it’s the start of something that actually lasts.
They’ll remember whether you were there. Whether you looked up. Whether you heard them. The challenge is free. Day 1 takes five minutes. And the number it shows you might change everything.
