I think the following books deserve mention in the Continuing Education section.
- “The Attention Merchants” by Tim Wu
- “The Internet of Us: Knowing More and Understanding Less in the Age of Big Data” by Michael Patrick Lynch.
Overall, the article is nice. I have had some success by
- Uninstalling the Facebook mobile application and Messenger.
- Using Firefox for android more. If you open a link in Firefox from another app, it saves a tab without opening the browser, thereby ensuring it doesn’t steal your focus.
- Turning off mobile data service whenever I’m reading ebooks, or articles locally, on my phone.
- Putting my phone away at meal times, and looking at each family member and making some gist to connect more over the meal.
- Saving articles I feel like checking out to Pocket, bookmarking them, or saving a tab in Firefox.
- Turning off notification from most apps (including email, chats, Slack, Twitter, …).
- Using a feed reader to catch up on content from specific sites.
