That’s one of the big ideas in the book. It’s easy to be enticed by new shiny objects, to fill our phones with apps all designed to steal our attention. The plan should encompass what tools you should use and how you should use them based upon your values. In other words, you need a plan and you need to practice it. ![]() ![]() Newport believes that, “what you need … is a full-fledged philosophy of technology use.” ![]() He does think you should abstain for one month then add in selectively, he calls this a ‘digital detox’.
