## Overview
Digital minimalism means keeping only the tools that support the life you want. It is not about deleting everything.
## Core Principle
Most apps are designed to take more attention than they return.
Keep the ones that help. Remove or hide the ones that mainly fill time.
## Simple Audit (Do This Once)
1. List every app you open daily.
2. For each app ask:
“Does this help me do something important, or does it mostly fill time?”
3. Keep the useful ones.
Hide or delete the rest for 30 days.
## Daily Rules
– Phone charges outside the bedroom.
– No social media before the first focused work block.
– Messages are answered in one or two fixed blocks, not all day.
– Notifications off except calls and calendar.
## Expected Outcome
– Fewer reactive interruptions.
– More uninterrupted time for real work or rest.
– The apps you keep become more useful because they no longer compete with noise.
