Podcast: The Radically Simple Digital Diet We All Need

A must listen!
I absolutely loved this episode from Outside. It gives some good-to-know background but then gets right to the point with clear, reasonable steps to change our relationship with our phones/apps, and how doing so brings greater time efficiency and happiness to our lives.
Personally, I really connected to the idea that our phones were once just a tool we used when we needed something specific from them. Given how app / cell phone developers have intentionally collaborated with the gambling industry to make their products cognitively addictive, we now use our phones way beyond what is functional or healthy.
Therefore, I personally am working on leaving my phone behind when I know I won’t really need it, and interacting with it when I actually need something.
