Technology is everywhere, in every corner of our daily lives. It can be used to solve problems…but it can also introduce some as well. The key is to be mindful where and how you spend your time, attention and money.
Intentionality is everything.
Now, that’s easy enough to say, but how exactly do you develop a better relationship with technology? And what is mindful consumption?
Today’s interview revolves around reclaiming your time, money and attention through mindful consumption, digital minimalism and intentional living.
You might think that minimalism means decluttering your wardrobe or sitting in an empty room whilst wearing a black t-shirt and contemplating the meaning of life. Truth is, anyone can be a minimalist.
You might even be listening to one right now….
Speaking of, our guest today is Paolo Garde, a lead strategist at a climate-tech startup and a rising YouTube content creator. Paolo produces a ton of interesting videos on the topics of minimalism, self-improvement and technology, which I recommend our listeners go check out right after this episode.
Throughout the interview we explore what it means to be a digital minimalist, how sometimes the old ways are best, the importance of focus and the extensive impact of algorithms - from both a consumer and creator perspective.
We also spent a lot of time discussing the benefits of wired headphones.
Oh, and just for the record, neither of us wore black t-shirts for this one – you’ll have to take my word for it.
