The case for digital minimalism

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

The Marie Kondo of tech: It can be difficult to know how to best use our time and energy in a world where we are constantly bombarded with notifications, alerts, and requests — that’s where Digital Minimalism comes in to break down how to declutter our digital lives. Digital minimalism, a philosophy developed by best-selling author Cal Newport, identifies typical digital minimalist practices and the ideas that underpin them through a variety of real-life examples. He demonstrates how to reconsider the use of social media, rediscover the joys of the offline world, and return to a healthy amount of alone time in order to reconnect with our true selves. Newport writes with a can-do attitude and an easy-to-understand tone, revealing a deep understanding of the problem. We highly recommend this book to anyone who can’t stop staring at their phone.
