The basic premise of the book is that people become creative when they get bored. However, it’s super easy to avoid boredom because of your phone and its easy access to games, social media, and the general internet. Want to be more creative? Stop using your phone so much. There’s more to it than this, of course, but that’s the nickel summary. (

Awesome. I implemented some of the strategies and I don’t feel as tied to my phone. I have also become super aware of where everyone else’s phone is during shared time, like dinner. (

The message of the book was pretty predictable but one I needed to hear again. Making changes to my social media consumption as a result. The thing that hit home for me was that 25 mins of social media every day adds up to 2 years over a life time... and even just over 10 years, 30 mins a day adds up to almost 11 weeks. Crazy. And not how I want so spend my life. (

The premise of this book is that while technology adds lifechanging value to our lives, our reliance and constant attention to our phones comes at a cost. The author lays the groundwork for us to better diagnose how much time we actually spend in mindless phone distractions and diversions and that by increasing our awareness we can claim back and be more choiceful and deliberative about ensuring the way we spend our time so that it's truly in line with the results we want.

That's a run-on sentence, but you get the idea.

Some of the challenges are interesting, but they could stand to be better refined. They're slightly too conceptual as they're currently conceived--the tents are too big. As others have said, the book gets a little repetitive, but it's accessibly and warmly written, well-researched, but not too academic to put the ideas in practice.

Overall, recommended. (

The main premise is that we fill our lives with too much distraction and do not realize how powerful allowing moments of boredom can be. Disconnecting, eliminating digital time suckers, and allowing for unfilled moments of time can jump start the creative juices. I appreciated the message and I think there is a lot of truth to it. The hard part is putting it into action. (
