033: Rethinking Your Relationship to Technology, Productivity, and Happiness with Daniel Sih

"Productivity changes as you get older and what you really want to aim for and how you do it shifts as well."

– Daniel Sih

In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Daniel Sih, an award-winning productivity author, speaker, entrepreneur, father, and husband. Daniel teaches people how to rethink their relationship with technology and shift their work and life habits to be more productive. Essentially, he focuses on how to get the right things done in a meaningful, directional way.

Daniel believes that none of us should justify resting and living well through an economic or productivity lens. There's value in being human. There's value in setting aside your devices, prioritizing non-tech habits and hobbies, and observing how technology impacts you and your family's happiness.

Are you suffering from "digital overuse"? Are you mastering your tech tools or are they mastering you? Regardless of your answer, it's likely time for you to begin making pace and making space in your life. Tune in to learn how to do that as well as how pace and space can transform your relationship with technology, productivity, and happiness.
