Your phone is fighting for your attention. Every app wants you to spend as much time as possible in it. Digital minimalism is a philosophy of reclaiming control. It's about consciously choosing tools that serve you, not the other way around.
How to Start?
- Audit: Check your screen time. Which app steals the most time?
- Clean Up: Delete everything you don't use regularly or that makes you feel worse (e.g., social media).
- Turn Off Notifications: Leave only the most important ones (phone, messages from loved ones).
