MEET THE FOUNDER - Bryan Brooks
A human behind the practice
Tech Sabbath didn’t begin as a brand or a platform. It began as a realization. After years of building and leading technology, I noticed something unsettling: while technology made life faster and more efficient, it quietly made presence harder to sustain. I was connected to everything and slowly becoming less present everywhere.
Where This Came From
Not a System. A Practice.
I’ve spent my career in technology. I believe in it. I still use it every day. But over time, the pace became relentless. Notifications followed me home. Work bled into rest.

I’ve spent my career in technology. I believe in it. I still use it every day. But over time, the pace became relentless. Notifications followed me home. Work bled into rest. Attention fractured into smaller and smaller pieces. Nothing was “wrong” on paper. But something essential was missing. Tech Sabbath was born out of that tension not as a rejection of technology, but as a response to its overreach.

Tech Sabbath is not built from mastery. It’s built from practice. From learning when to pause. From failing and returning. From experimenting with rhythms that made room for rest, relationships, and clarity again. This isn’t about doing it perfectly. It’s about noticing when something is off and choosing to pause.
Why I Share This
What You’ll Find Here
What You’ll Find Here
I didn’t create Tech Sabbath to teach from above. I created it to walk alongside others who are asking the same quiet questions: Why am I always on? When did rest become something I have to earn? What would it look like to live awake in a connected world?
Tech Sabbath is simply an invitation to explore those questions, gently, honestly, and without pressure.
