The internet today is built on one value: maximize your attention for profit.
TGIP is built on your values.

TGIP translates your values and goals into your online experience. It does this through engagement with you — asking, reminding, reflecting — and by giving you tools to modify the internet's underlying rules and architecture. You stay in complete control, with total transparency.

Before we set anything up

The next few screens will ask about your relationship with the internet — what you value, what frustrates you, and what pulls you off course.

Your answers help TGIP build a program tailored to your values and goals.

Nothing is mandatory. Everything is editable later. And there are no wrong answers.

Think about a recent day online. What felt good? What felt like a waste? What would you change?

What does the internet give you that you genuinely value?
What does the internet take from you that you wish it wouldn't?

Which apps or sites pull you away from your intentions?

Not the ones you use well. The ones where you open them meaning to do one thing, and find yourself doing something else.

One last thing before we begin

Based on everything you've shared, try to distill what matters most to you into a sentence or two. This becomes your touchstone — the words TGIP will reflect back to you when it matters most.

Here's where we'll start

Based on what you've told me:

Before you open these, I'll ask what you're there for. While you're there, I'll keep time. When you're done, I'll ask how it went.

TGIP starts simple on purpose. There are more tools available — bandwidth controls, content filtering, deeper integrations — but we'll add those as we learn what works for you. Step by step, we will rebuild the internet to match your goals and values.

Before you open ...

What are you here for?

You don't have a reason to be there right now. That's worth noticing.

Is there something you'd rather be doing?
