I’m Catherine Price, coach of the NYU x IRL Phone Breakup Challenge®, and I’m thrilled you’re here.
The Phone Breakup Challenge runs for 30 days, from September 28 through October 23. Over the course of our time together, we’re going to reset our relationships with our phones and reclaim our attention so that we have more time for the things and people that truly matter to us.*
*No phones will be harmed or dumped as a result of this challenge.
Welcome, NYU!

My work has been featured in outlets including The Best American Science Writing, NPR, The New York Times, Good Morning America, CNN, The Today Show, The Wall Street Journal, Popular Science, The Los Angeles Times, Oprah Daily, and TIME Magazine, among many others. I write the Substack newsletter, "How to Feel Alive," and my TED talk on fun has been viewed more than 9 million times.
I speak and lead conversations about fun, phone breakups, creativity, productivity, and screen/life balance for clients including major conferences, Fortune 500 companies, business organizations, schools, health organizations, community groups, and hotels and retreat centers, among others.
As a leading voice in the national conversation about technology and human flourishing, my goal is to help people of all ages scroll less and live more.
