Today I read a blog post in my Inbox about making great use of the Internet and smartphones without wasting time and trading your life for it. The web post by Barking Up the Wrong Tree author (Eric Barker) is HIGHLY worth your time.

Please head over there right now. You’ll find yourself nodding and saying, “Yes! Yes!” as you read.

After reading the post, I went immediately to pre-order the book being discussed: Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World by Cal Newport. His solutions are made in heaven for everyone, I think, but especially for those of us who write.

While you are waiting for Newport’s new book to be released, I hope you will get a copy of his previous bestseller (Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World) and read it too.

Best of Both Worlds

Writers: like Dorothy, we aren’t in Kansas anymore. Do you want to do the writing of your dreams, but still be part of the digital age? Then get this expert advice. I think, if we apply these principles, we can have the best of both worlds.

So, don’t waste another minute. Read the preview here.
