Life after the nine to five

Take your
time back.

Free tools and a straight-talking weekly newsletter for people who'd rather be doing almost anything other than working. Built by someone who's had thirty-five jobs and worked out how the machine really runs — and writes down what he learned, one email at a time.

Free tools

Free tools that make it click.

A real-hourly-rate calculator, a life-in-weeks reckoner, and a trapped-at-work score — all free, and no sign-up to use them. Each one hands you a number you probably won't love.

35 jobs.
Same machine.

Factories, mines, warehouses, kitchens, offices — I've worked them all, and every one of them was part of the same machine. This is where I show you how it really runs, and how you build a life on the other side of the nine to five.
