Time To Log Off was founded in 2014 by digital entrepreneur, tech ethicist, and author Tanya Goodin. Tanya was inspired to set-up Time To Log Off after over 20 years working exclusively in the online world. She is an award-winning digital entrepreneur: twice a finalist for the Entrepreneur of the Year award, and for the Blackberry Outstanding Women in Technology award.
As someone who spent her life almost entirely onscreen for over 20 years, Tanya was one of the first to notice the impact of a screen-based lifestyle on focus and concentration, productivity, creativity, stress and sleep.
As research and statistics began to emerge supporting her belief that she was not alone in suffering from these adverse effects of a screen-dominated life, she founded Time To Log Off with a mission to investigate what a healthy use of screens looks like. Her goal as a digital detox expert now is to help others discover, like her, the joys of regularly fully disconnecting from technology and reconnecting with the real world.
Tanya is a graduate of Oxford University, the author of three books about our complicated relationship with technology, My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open, OFF and Stop Staring at Screens – and is passionate about yoga, mindfulness and introducing the digital detox concept to children and young people who are increasingly immersed in the online world.
