Reclaiming attention from the attention economy. The declutter your phone book.

Why it matters

Newport makes the case for being intentional about technology instead of letting it consume you. For anyone who builds digital products, this is the uncomfortable mirror: most of what we make is designed to be addictive, not useful. The challenge is to build the opposite.

Quick Take

The antidote to phone addiction. Didn't fully cure me, but made me think about why I reach for the screen.
