There’s  no  denying  the  fact  that  modern  technology  is  a  blessing.  It

allows  us  to  learn,  make  money,  connect  with  our  loved  ones  and  other

people from all over the world, entertain ourselves, and with each passing

year, do a whole lot more.

Yet,  there  exists  a  danger  of  becoming  addicted  to  electronics.

Smartphones reduce our attention spans, easy access to information makes

us too lazy to learn, and since it’s now so easy to get new things delivered

to your doorstep, we’re constantly looking for a new shiny thing that will be

the ultimate magic pill and solution to all of our problems.

I don’t believe that technology is our enemy, but I do believe that too

much of it — as with excess in anything — leads to problems. Fortunately,

where  there’s  a  problem,  there’s  an  opportunity  to  learn.  You  can

dramatically improve your self-control by periodically reducing the amount

of time spent using your phone or other devices.

For example, while you’re on vacation, resist the temptation to take a

picture and share it on Facebook. Instead, focus on the present moment and

engrave it in your memories, not your social feed.

In  the  evening,  at  least  every  now  and  then,  turn  off  all  of  the  blue-

light  emitting  devices  and  spend  an  hour  reading  a  book.  You’ll  have  an

easier time falling asleep, and it will be more recharging, too.




Whenever you catch yourself feeling anxious to check your phone or

social media feeds, it’s a sign that you’re losing control. Reestablish it by

periodically going on short technology fasts or deliberately checking your

phone less often than usual.
