Intentional Technology Usage for Digital Minimalism

Digital minimalism advocates for intentional technology use by first identifying what activities are important to you, then choosing technology tools that support those activities. Setting boundaries around technology usage based on specific needs helps in avoiding unnecessary distractions. It is crucial to use technology only when it serves a clear, significant purpose in your life and not as a default option. By adopting a mindset of using technology only when it adds value to your goals and being content with missing out on other distractions, individuals can craft a more fulfilling and focused life.
