122: Digital Minimalism with Cal Newport
Manage episode 226953667 series 1169853
What are the hidden costs of digital clutter? How can we counter screen addiction and phantom phone vibrations? We explore these topics in this episode with Cal Newport as we discuss his new book, Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World.
Cal Newport is a familiar voice on the Pivot Podcast and back by popular demand! On our first episode we discussed deep workâthe increasingly important deliberate practice of focused work, especially in a world of cognitive junk. Now we turn to digital minimalism: applying a just enough mindset to our personal technology, freeing ourselves from the overwhelm, distraction, and âfear of missing outâ side effects of the always-connected world. Or as Cal quotes Bill Maher from May 2017: âLikes is the new smoking . . . Philip Morris just wanted your lungs, The App Store wants your soul.â
