A clear argument for spending much less time on personal technology, aimed at general readers. It is about values rather than methods, so it ranks below Deep Work for practical focus rules. A complete capture and review workflow for tasks and commitments, with concrete steps for each part. It is about task systems rather than attention or notes, so it complements Deep Work and Smart Notes here.
