Digital Minimalism: Your Attention Is Your Most Valuable Currency

Every app on your phone is designed by a team of engineers whose job is to keep you scrolling. That is not a conspiracy theory — it is a business model. The average person checks their phone over 150 times a day, and most of those checks are not intentional. They are reflexes.

Digital minimalism does not mean throwing away your phone. It means being deliberate about what earns a place on your home screen and when you allow notifications to interrupt you. Try this: move social media apps to a folder on your second screen, turn off all non-essential notifications, and set specific times to check messages. You will be amazed how much time reappears in your day.
