Digital minimalists are the calm, happy people who can hold long conversations without furtive glances at their phones. Common sense tips, like turning off notifications, or occasional rituals like observing a digital sabbath, don't go far enough in helping us take back control of our technological lives. What we need is a thoughtful method to decide what tools to use, for what purposes, and under what conditions. Here Newport identifies the common practices of digital minimalists and the ideas that underpin them.
