I’ve spent majority of my life addicted to technology and screens. I wrote a book about my last few years of how I have been managing this relationship knowing it only gets worse for each new generation(I’m a millennial). And I’m proud of how far I have come in a couple years. Before: I pickup my phone almost 60 times a day. I hardly trust the news but can’t stop doomscrolling for hours. I buy shit I don’t need because I’m constantly served ads about them. After: I pickup my phone maybe 30 times. I don’t even read the news anymore outside of some HN. I haven’t bought any junk in the last year. There’s no silver bullet to this problem. Especially if you already work in tech. Boundaries are important and also jobs to be done for each device. I think the most effective approach for me was mindfulness. Technology is addictive to me. If I have it easily accessible, I will be obsessed with it.
