Deep Questions with Cal Newport

NOTE

Consuming Mindfully

Consuming Mindfully is about slowing down our media consumption and focusing on deeper ideas. The fast-paced, fragmented streams of information that we are bombarded with through social media and online platforms have changed our conception of what it means to be a consumer of information. However, returning to a slower, more consolidated approach can lead to a more fulfilling and effective intellectual life. By taking a 30-day exercise of not reading internet articles and instead spending time on reading books and engaging with deeper ideas, we may find that we are still informed enough and less stressed. Slower media consumption allows for a more relaxed state, improved brain function, and the enjoyment of carefully and slowly devouring information.
