Deep Questions with Cal Newport

NOTE

How Does Technology Best Serve This Vision?

To make big life decisions, focus on your vision and purpose before considering technology. Determine what you want in life and how technology can best support that vision. Evaluate the personal technologies you currently use and determine if they align with your vision. Make intentional choices about how to use technology, such as limiting social media access. By filling the void with an aspirational vision, you are less likely to rely on technology as a distraction. Instead of focusing on fixing your technology habits, focus on personal growth and let technology serve your goals. Once you prioritize your life and values, technology choices will naturally fall into place.
