Digital Minimalism - by Cal Newport
'Choosing a focused life in a noisy world'
When Facebook started it was interesting, but didn't seem like something which we would spend a large amount of time. A college senior who set up an account in 2004 to look up class mates probably didn't predict that the average modern user would spend around 2 hours a day on social media and related messaging service. Similarly, an early adopter who picked up an iPhone in 2007 for its music features would be less enthusiastic if told he could expect to compulsively check it 85 times a day.
There is a war going on for your attention and the way to get it back is to embrace Digital Minimalism.
In this episode we include the best ideas from all of Cal Newport's closely related books, 'So Good They Can't Ignore You', 'Deep Work' and 'Digital Minimalism'.
