Digital Minimalism

If I had finished this back when I started (2019) I would have lived it. Now, in 2021, a lot of what Newport talks about seems like common sense. Beyond the advice, the anecdotes of the digital minimalists that he encountered while preparing this book are à propos and well-chosen to highlight the underlying call to action: quit faffing around on your phone, stop with the constant Facebooking, put your phone down and do something else that keeps your hands busy or puts you in a social situation.

Neat. Made me feel self conscious of the amount of social media I'm not very intentional about, motivated to do a digital declutter in my own life.

I liked the part in defense of solitude, with solitude defined as periods of time with the input of no other brain but your own.

And I liked the bits about how connection is not communication.
