Summary In 2015, WNYC Studio's 'Note To Self' host Manoush Zomorodi led thousands of her listeners through a week of experiments designed to help them reassess their technology habits, unplug for part of each week and jumpstart their creativity. Throughout the book are a series of challenges that will help readers rethink their relationship to their devices without completely leaving the digital world. Zomorodi also explores why putting greater emphasis on "doing nothing" is vital in an age of constant notifications and digital distractions. She speaks with neuroscientists and cognitive psychologists about "mind wandering"--what our brains do when we're doing nothing at all, and the link between boredom and creativity.
