  1. Practical Tips for Digital Minimalism Although smartphones are a very useful tool, our dependence on  them is reaching its extremes. In fact, there are already digital  detox clinics for people who are addicted to their phones. That is  why a trend is slowly becoming popular, one that seeks to put a  little balance in our lives in this aspect of life: digital minimalism.  Its starting point is not the rejection of technology, but using it in  proper proportions. That is, rationalize its use and stop being one  of those people who are in a sad classic scene in which they meet  with a group of friends and most of them spend their time on their  phones rather than socializing with the people by their side.  It’s true that calls, messages, and emails are three basic and  necessary tools in our family, work, and social spheres. But they  can be better managed with proper schedules, prioritizing what is  really important, controlling notifications, etc. The aggravating  factor is that we reduce a lot of distractors - like social networks -  that end up making us spend most of our lives glued to our cell  phone screen.  DIGITAL MINIMALISM PRACTICAL TIPS  Can this battle be won? Digital minimalism believes so. The key is  to regulate the amount of time that we spend using our mobile  phones. Below are some tips that can help you overcome this  addiction.  Deactivate Notifications 

  2. Deactivate the notifications of the applications that are not  necessary so that the number of times you pick up your cell phone  is reduced. By having fewer constant interruptions, the risk that  you end up browsing hours and hours doing nonsense on your  phone is reduced.  Discipline  It is necessary to know and define well in which places and  moments you should or can use your phone and in which you  should not. Humans are not a multitasking being, so when, for  example, you’re reading and at the same time chatting on  WhatsApp, your reading will be of poor quality.  Management  It’s not healthy to be online every day at all hours, it is better to set  limits on any online activity. The number of emails we send  determines the responses we get; the fewer we send, the fewer  responses we get. Therefore, we must develop more efficient  communication schedules and frequency.  Self-control  It is not a matter of radically stopping using your cell phone, but  gradually doing it, acquiring the habit of using it only on necessary  occasions and leaving it aside when they are not.  The ultimate motivation that will help you become a ​digital  minimalist​ is thinking about what you could do with all the hours  you spend on your cell phones if they became free time.
