Reboot Your Routine

Your routine needs a reboot. Not a whole new you.

Whether you're in your thirties, forties or beyond, your week's already full of work, family and everything else. You know something needs to change. You just don't know where to start.

This book's for you if:

• You've had more fresh starts than you can count, and most of them lasted about a week
• Your fitness, sleep or tech skills have gone to pot while life got busy
• You're sick of being told to get up at 5am and drink something green
• You just want someone to tell you where to start

I smoked for twenty-five years and spent ten of them trying to quit. By my forties I'd given up the smokes, run a 100-mile ultramarathon and stepped into a Muay Thai ring. I'm not a guru or a fitness influencer. These days I'm a white belt in jiu-jitsu, getting flattened on the mats, and learning new skills through curiosity and a lot of tinkering. There was no secret. I just finally started.

This book is the kind of help I needed all those years ago, split into three parts:

MIND: habits that survive a bad week, better sleep, turning "one day" into an actual plan and staying steady when life gets hard.

BODY: walking, running, lifting and martial arts from wherever you're starting, food without the fad diets, and training around the injuries that come with getting older.

DIGITAL: getting your head around your devices, keeping scammers out of your accounts, breaking the scroll, sorting your money and using AI to learn stuff that used to feel out of reach.

Every chapter ends with Your Move: one small thing you can do today. No giant leaps. No perfection. Just something to come back to on the days you can't be bothered.

Is it a literary masterpiece? Probably not. Is it an honest, practical starting point for people with busy lives? I reckon so.

You're old enough to know better, and young enough to do something about it.

Think big. Start small. You vs You.
