Digital minimalism is a choice to use technology with intention, reducing noise and focusing on what benefits you truly. It addresses the problem of tech overload which can lead to stress and distraction. This approach is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by digital devices and social media, and wants to take control of their tech use to focus on more meaningful engagements.
Digital minimalism involves streamlining your digital life by eliminating unnecessary digital tools and apps, and optimizing the use you get out of necessary technologies. Implement digital minimalism when you notice that technology use is more habitual than helpful, causing distractions and reducing your effectiveness in personal or professional life.
It applies to all digital environments—smartphones, computers, tablets, and other digital devices at home, work, or on the go.
How:
Evaluate your digital use to identify what is necessary and what is not.
Reduce or eliminate non-essential digital tools and apps.
Intentionally schedule time away from digital screens.
Re-engage with physical and more fulfilling activities off-screen.
