Less is More 📵

'Minimalism' started as decluttering your house (Marie Kondo). Now it applies to our digital lives. 'Digital Minimalism' is the philosophy of using technology intentionally, rather than being enslaved by it.

Practices include 'Digital Detox' (taking a break from screens), turning off notifications, and deleting social media apps. The goal is to reclaim 'Deep Work' (focus) and real-life connection.

This is a reaction to the 'Attention Economy' designed to addict us. Advocates argue that boredom is actually good for creativity, but we have destroyed boredom with constant scrolling.
