![]() So, in light of this knowledge and this month’s theme, Simplicity, I invite you to visit (or revisit) author Cal Newport’s idea of digital minimalism with me.Īccording to Cal, “the cost of social media is not so much what you are doing, but what it is pushing out of your life” - and for many of us, that is high-quality leisure activities and learning how to be alone. Reports show that in past months usage of Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms have increased significantly. Pandemic life over the past year certainly hasn’t helped. Despite knowing this, I had to reel myself back from multiple digital distractions while writing this. I know, you know, we all know - there are better things to do with our time than peruse social media. ![]() "They joined Facebook to stay in touch with friends across the country, and then ended up unable to maintain an uninterrupted conversation with the friend sitting across the table." - Cal Newport, Digital Minimalism ![]()
