Today’s book: Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport—a practical and philosophical guide to decluttering your digital life so you can focus on what truly matters.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- Technology isn’t bad—but mindless use is. Most digital tools are fine… until they start stealing your time and attention.
- Minimalism = intention. Use tech like a craftsman: only when it clearly supports your deeply held values.
- Take a 30-day digital declutter. Step away from optional technologies, then reintroduce only what adds real value.
- Solitude is vital. Make space for reflection, focus, and recharging—without constant digital noise.
- High-quality leisure beats low-quality scrolling. Create, build, move, connect—don’t just consume.
Your attention is your life. What’s one step you’ll take today to use tech more intentionally?
