Tech reduction

To reduce technology use effectively, experts suggest the following strategies:

1. Simplify Technology Choices: Avoid using multiple technologies that your applications or tasks don't require. Opt for multimodal databases or integrated solutions to reduce complexity and operational costs 1.

2. Optimize Technology Use: Understand the specific reasons you use each technology and tailor their use to support your values. For instance, if staying connected with university peers is important, assess and optimize the best tools for meaningful interaction, like specific social media channels or group texts, and eliminate unnecessary features 2.

3. Adopt Digital Minimalism: Embrace a positive enhancing perspective rather than just reducing technology usage. Take a break from non-essential technology, reevaluate your values, and then rebuild digital habits that amplify what’s important to you. This way, you align your digital habits with your personal goals and values 3 4.
