I recently read Digital Minimalism and cut back _heavily_ for 30 days on all optional technology, like social media, fitness and health tracking, streaming movies and TV, podcasts, video games, notifications, and even just looking things up in Safari. It was tough, but I got lots of things done, like reading a nonfiction book for the first time in years, trimming the trees in my yard, playing tabletop games with the kids, focusing on in-person relationships and making phone calls to friends, spending time in solitude, and taking walks _without_ headphones. I felt _great_.
I’d recommend it.
the iphone is the greatest tool we have for learning and creation.
but most of us are diminished by the gravity of consumption.
try removing all those apps for 3 days.
