Ep. 266: Take Control of Your Technology Habits

Deep Questions with Cal Newport

NOTE

The Danger of Technology and the Importance of Reevaluating Our Relationship

We often seek recognition, inspiration, and involvement in something bigger than ourselves. However, technology can satisfy these desires to a certain extent, keeping us stuck in our comfort zones. We engage with apps, social media, and online games, thinking we're connected and making progress. But in reality, they prevent us from making real changes in our lives. To break free, it's time to reevaluate our relationship with technology. Take a 30-day break, reflect on what truly matters to you, and envision your desired future. From there, rebuild your technological life with purpose, considering how each tool serves your goals. By doing so, you'll eliminate the distractions and become an active, respected member of society.
