Excelente livro. Talvez um pouco extenso para seu propósito. Mas gostei da teste de que devemos usar a tecnologia de modo mais inteligente, reduzindo o tempo que passamos principalmente no celular e nas redes sociais. Esse livro foi fundamental para me incentivar o hábito da leitura (dezembro 2019) e a moderar o uso do celular.
Dicas:
- Reduzir apps do celular
- Definir horários para o uso de apps
- Fazer caminhadas sem interferências externas
- Adotar ativamente outras modalidades de lazer
