Episode 3229:

Colin Wright of ExileLifestyle.com shares how turning off phone notifications empowered him to regain control over his digital life. He encourages us to reassess our interactions with technology, reminding us that we have the power to set boundaries and customize our devices to serve our needs better, rather than letting them control us.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://exilelifestyle.com/set-default/

Quotes to ponder:

"We don’t recognize, I think, how much power we have over the tools we use every day."

"Your devices can serve as gatekeepers for your attention, if you let them."

"Retake control of your digital life, and be a serf no longer to the authoritarian pings that have come to negatively sway your day."
