Digital Minimalism
In brief
Digital minimalism is not quitting the internet—it is cutting low-value channels and clarifying intent. Keep creation and connection tools; shrink infinite feeds. Weekly, review which apps choose for you.
Minimalism targets bandwidth, not austerity. You want less autoplay and more intentional use.
Steps
- List top five apps by time in the past 7 days.
- Mark “tool” vs “feed” types.
- Keep one feed type; set daily cap or home-screen isolation.
- Pre-fill freed time: walk, paper reading, three Schulte rounds, or a short focus session.
Intent Review Sentence
Before opening, ask: What am I opening this to finish, and how will I exit when done? If you cannot answer, do not open yet.
