Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World by Cal Newport

5.0

informative medium-paced

I thoroughly enjoyed the practices given in this book and was blown away by how I've let social media manipulate me for years without consciously acknowledging it. A few of these practices are things I'd like to try post-COVID (joining a group, setting seasonal "social" goals) but I'm starting ASAP on things that will help me disconnect from my phone and plug back into the real world. If you're skeptical of social media or you want to limit your use, I highly recommend giving this a read.
