Digital Minimalism – Unleash Your Power Easily

Digital Minimalism

We know that we are spending so much time on our smartphones and social media.

And it’s widely accepted by many peoples that technologies such as social media and smartphones massively changed how we live in the twenty-first century.

Beyond our original roles, we are trying to impress others and the urge to know things well without experience in real life.

Instead of knowing and finding permanent solutions peoples are seeking temporary solutions (on spot always).

For example, when you went out for a trip with your friends but holding your smartphone to capture the lovely moments and making live with your social media friends to get a like or to get an appreciation.

But you lost your enjoyment with your friends. Instead of making live on social media, why don’t you live the moment? Don’t urge to document it for a virtual audience.

Don’t make your lovable moments as a memory in your phone storage.

Make it memorable and unforgettable in your memory storage.

In my experience, most of the people who struggle with the online part of their lives are not weak, they are organized and used to pursuing hard goals.

But somehow the apps and sites from behind the phone and screen – unique among the temptations – they diverted into those unhealthy temptations beyond their original roles.

Because many of these new tools are not nearly as innocent as how it seems in the beginning. They started to suck our time widely without realizing it we became slaves of such temporary temptations rather than thinking about our goals.

“Losing Control”

is the one and only weakness of us.

Many peoples and techies are working day and night to suck our day and night.

If we see it from the psychological views “our interests, our search in the browser everything is noticed and according to that we will get notifications.” They read our minds and sucks our time to achieve their goal and to succeed in their profession.

But we spent our time to make achieve their goal rather than ours.

“They’re programming us using their programs”

Ways to follow Digital Minimalism:

• Uninstall the unwanted apps (or) the apps which are not used by you often.
• Turn of the notification alarm (except important)
• Schedule your time for entertainment and your area of interest [in social media].
• Don’t stop your digital life completely make it less used (step by step)
• Don’t forget your purpose of using technology [why you left your device].
• Stop giving “Like” & “Comments” unwantedly.
• Don’t expect acceptance and Like from your Social Media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and etc.
• Use the apps don’t become used to that.

At last, I would like to conclude by saying the following:

It was assumed that addiction only applied to alcohol or drugs (substances that include psychoactive components that can directly change your brain chemistry)

But, in a 2010 survey paper that appeared in the American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, Behavioral addictions (such as internet, social media, online games etc.) resembles substance addictions (alcohol or drugs etc.)

“Use it wisely, usefully”

“Device for Us, We are not for Device”

“The real world is more beautiful and vibrant than the virtual world”

“Use the smartphone to become smart”

I’m extremely happy and feeling good to share this type of content during this much needed time.

Final thoughts,

Digital minimalism simplifies our digital lives, bringing balance and reclaiming our time. It filters out distractions, helping us focus on what truly matters.

By evaluating and setting boundaries, we prioritize tools that align with our values and enhance well-being, avoiding mindless scrolling and excessive screen time.

Thank you 🙂
