Digital Minimalism🚦
Digital minimalism as mentioned in this article is like Marie Kondo for your tech life - except instead of asking if your apps spark joy, you’re asking why TikTok has stolen three hours of your day. This mindful approach to technology is all about decluttering your digital chaos, setting boundaries, and reclaiming your time from endless scrolling. It’s not about breaking up with your phone but redefining the relationship—less clingy, more intentional. By embracing tech-free moments, you’ll swap doomscrolling for daydreaming and finally find that elusive work-life-scroll balance.
