Tech Minimalism is a framework I've developed that resolves the fundamental issues many business & professionals have with time but are unaware of the impact it’s having on their profits. Time is finite. We just don’t have enough of it to do the things we love. However, we can find that time by focusing on our work without being distracted with complications from Tech. If you're always fighting with time and constantly 'busy' then Tech Minimalism might just be able to help you. In this podcast, I'll be going over the different ideas and methods to help you minimise distractions to help you maximise your free time.
