Okay, this may go down as the worst advice given in 2020!

If there’s ever a time to disconnect and take a breath, this is it. With all the non-stop zoom videos and conference calls, it’s very easy to feel overwhelmed and worn out. Digital minimalists are all around us. They're the calm, happy people who can hold long conversations without furtive glances at their phones. They can get lost in a good book, a woodworking project, or a leisurely morning run. They don't experience "fear of missing out" because they already know which activities provide them meaning and satisfaction. Man oh man, that is music to my ears! That’s why I’m so excited to re-run our interview with Cal Newport who was in-studio a while back to talk about his latest book, Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World.
