Great article! I appreciate how thoughtful and detailed you present your reasoning. I have followed a similar vein, although I was never on facebook and do not own a cell phone. But even so, I set myself a 'tech fast' during lent from any social media sites, news, etc. While many books offer great advice and reasons for tech decluttering, I felt that it was being a role model for my children that gave me the needed conviction to actually make the move.

Absolutely amazing! And you’re certainly not alone. The timing of seeing your post come through is ironic for me because I was just listening to a podcast interview with Cal Newport this morning, and I’m definitely wanting to read Digital Minimalism now. I think your post was just the extra nudge I needed!
