Deep Questions with Cal Newport

NOTE

How Do I Make Time Outside of Work?

In his book, digital minimalism, the author introduces the concept of high quality leisure. Instead of mindlessly seeking escape through technology or indulging in unhealthy habits, he suggests being intentional about how you spend your time outside of work. This includes fostering deeper connections with family and community, appreciating the things that bring you joy, and pursuing meaningful activities. To overcome phone addiction, the author advises filling the void that the phone is serving with other fulfilling activities and reflecting on personal aspirations. This approach, outlined in the book, digital minimalism, encourages reflection, experimentation, and building a confident vision for a fulfilling life.
