💡 Welcome to The Optimizt.

Humans and technology aren’t on great terms right now. From anxious teens and 20-somethings, to freaked-out parents, to tech-illiterate politicians and out-of-touch executives, everyone is struggling to figure out how technology can serve us, not the other way around.

But I believe our devices don’t have to be our vices. We can master technology, and it can make us more human. But no one taught us how. Once we learn how to optimize our tools for us — our lifestyles, our dreams, our ways of thinking — we can stop killing time, and start living.

That’s been my experience, which is why I’m an optimist about optimization. Get it now? 😉

Each week in The Optimizt, you’ll receive my tried-and-true tactics for healthy tech use, commentary on society and technology news (and other things I’ve learned), and my occasional life reflections.

Thank you for reading, and for pondering this question with me: If left to your own devices, how will you use them?
