 # The Principles of Digital Minimalism

+As noted in Cal Newport's book, _Digital Minimalism_, there are three main
 principles to digital minimalism that I tend to agree with:
 
 1.  Clutter is costly.
-    - Digital minimalists recognize that cluttering their time and attention
-      with too many devices, apps, and services creates an overall negative cost
-      that can swamp the small benefits that each individual item provides in
-      isolation.

+        cost that can swamp the small benefits that each individual item
+        provides in isolation.
 2.  Optimization is important.
-    - Digital minimalists believe that deciding a particular technology supports
-      something they value is only the first step. To truly extract its full
-      potential benefit, it's necessary to think carefully about how they'll
-      use the technology.

 3.  Intentionality is satisfying.
-    - Digital minimalists derive significant satisfaction from their general
-      commitment to being more intentional about how they engage with new
-      technologies. This source of satisfaction is independent of the specific
-      decisions they make and is one of the biggest reasons that minimalism
-      tends to be immensely meaningful to its practitioners.

 ## Prevent Distractions
 
-- Disable (most) notifications on all devices. I spent 15-30 minutes going
-  through the notifications on my phone, watch, and computer to ensure that only
-  a select few apps have the ability to interrupt me: Calendar, Messages, Phone,
-  Reminders, & Signal.
-- Disable badges for any apps except the ones mentioned in the bullet above.
-- Set-up focus profiles across devices so that I can enable different modes,
-  such as Personal when I only want to see notifications from people I care
-  about or Do Not Disturb, where absolutely nothing can interrupt me.
-- Clean up my home screens. This one was quite easy as I already maintain a
-  minimalist set-up, but I went extreme by limiting my phone to just eight apps
-  on the home screen and four in the dock. If I need another app, I'll have to
-  search or use the app library.
-- Remove the work profile from my phone. This was a tough decision as having my
-  work profile on my device definitely makes my life easier at times, but it
-  also has quite a negative effect when I'm "always online" and can see the
-  notifications and team activity 24/7. I believe creating a distinct barrier
-  between my work and personal devices will be beneficial in the end.

 I've started with a few basics that are always readily available to me:
 
-- Do a chore, such as organizing or cleaning.
-- Read a book, study a piece of art, etc.
-- Exercise or get outdoors.
-- Participate in a hobby, such as photography, birding, disc golf, etc.
-- Let yourself be bored and wander into creativity.
