It’s been almost three months since the Guardian launched the Reclaim your brain newsletter – a free, five-week email coaching plan for anyone who wants to spend less time on their phone.

Since then, more than 100,000 readers have signed up, making it the fastest-growing newsletter we’ve ever launched. (If you haven’t already, you can subscribe to Reclaim your brain whenever you want – you still get sent the same weekly plan as everyone else.)
