The Art Of Bitfulness by Nandan Nilekani

Keeping Calm in the Digital World

A practical guide to building a calmer relationship with technology, it shows how to reclaim attention by designing devices, apps, and routines around intention rather than impulse. The book introduces simple frameworks and “modes” for work and life, encourages batching communication, taming notifications, and adding healthy friction, and offers tactics for email, messaging, and phone use that protect deep work. It extends beyond personal habits to team norms and broader systems, arguing for humane, sustainable practices that make the digital world serve human goals instead of hijacking them.
