I read the book Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport a couple years ago. I’m not sure what I was expecting, I think maybe some advice how to organize and maintain my digital world and avoid being a digital hoarder. What I got was a book about the importance having periods of time without any input from outside influences. That could be TV, social media, games, music, or even books and news. Being alone with our own thoughts is much more rare than it once was, some people never do it at all for more than a minute here and there. It’s a thought I come back to often.
What I struggle with is the lack of a good hobby to occupy my hands for longer stretches of time while my mind wanders.
